CHORUS:
O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley
O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o
In that bog there was a hole, rare hole, a rattlin' hole
Hole in the bog, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
In that hole there was a tree, rare tree, a rattlin' tree
Tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
On that tree there was a bough, rare bough, a rattlin’ bough
Bough on the tree, and the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
CHORUS
On that bough there was a branch, rare branch, a rattlin' branch
Branch on the bough, and the bough on the tree,
And the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
On that branch there was a nest, rare nest, a rattlin' nest
Nest on the branch, and the branch on the bough, and the bough on the tree,
And the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
On that nest there was a bird, rare bird, a rattlin bird
Bird on the nest, and the nest on the branch, and the branch on the bough,
And the bough on the tree, the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
On that bird there was a tail, rare tail, a rattlin tail
Tail on the bird, and the bird on the nest, and the nest on the branch, and the branch on the bough,
and the bough on the tree, and the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
CHORUS
On that tail there was a feather, rare feather, a rattlin feather
Feather on the tail, and the tail on the bird, and the bird on the nest, and the nest on the branch,
and the branch on the bough, and the bough on the tree, and the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o.
