Rattler’s Pup Lyrics by Grandpa Jones

Country Music Hall Of Fame Series: Grandpa Jones

0

[Verse One]
The woods will ring again tonight
With a voice I love to hear
Up from the valley
It's a-rollin' loud and clear
With an old shotgun and carbide knife
Beneath the yeller moon
I'm out tonight to see a fight
Of a big ring-tailed raccoon
[Chorus]
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
[Verse Two]
At fifteen after eleven o'clock
He hit a red-hot trail
And from the noise you'd think he had
That ol' coon by the tail
Well he run him up a white oak tree
Way out on the limb
And there by the light of the yeller moon
I got a glimpse of him
[Chorus]
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
[Verse Three]
When that ol' coon looked down at me
It was a sight to see
He looked as big as a grizzly bear
Perched up in that tree
Well I cut the tree
Down come the coon
And when he hit the ground
Rattler's pup and ol' man coon
Went around and 'round and 'round
They fought all night and all day long
It was a fearful sight
No better coon, no better dog
Was ever in a fight
[Chorus]
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
Ol' Rattler left us years ago
But Rattler's pup is a-comin' up
You oughtta see him go
