Oh,
Rattler's
son is like his pep
Now he sure likes to eat
He eats nine biscuits at one bite
Besides a ham of meat
Oh, Rattler's son is on the run
A chase has just begun
I can't help but yell,
it's clear as a bell
He must be Rattler's son
Went to see my gal last night
The dog snuck on behind
He chased her cat up a white oak sprout
And now she won't be mine
Oh, Rattler's son is on the run
The chase has just begun
I can tell by his yell, it's clear as a bell
He must be Rattler's son
Oh, Rattler's son is a mighty dog
Now he's just like his pa
Killed eighteen possums Saturday night
Just to exercise his jaw
Oh, Rattler's son is on the run,
the chase has just begun
I can tell by his yell, it's clear as a bell,
he must be Rattler's son
A good coon dog's gotta
have a big mouth,
a sign we'll all agree
I got in an argument with a man,
how Rattler's son could treat
His mouth too small, the old man said,
I think his name was Merle
Well, a monkey range goes with him,
and I got him set for spiral.
Oh, Rattler's son is on the run,
the chase has just begun.
I can tell by his yell, it's clear as a bell,
he must be Rattler's son.
Oh, Rattler's son can eat a lot,
his appetite's immense.
He ate three -setting of new laid eggs,
and he ain't been heard of since.
Oh, rattlin' the sun is on the run,
the case has just begun,
I can't help but yell, it's clear as a bell,
he must be rattlin' that sun!
