lyrics
There was a bog
A rattlin' bog
It was a rare bog
It was a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
In that bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattlin' tree
The tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that tree there was a limb
A rare limb, a rattlin' limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that limb there was a branch
A rare branch, a rattlin' branch
The branch on the limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that branch there was a twig
A rare twig, a rattlin' twig
The twig on the branch
The branch on the limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that twig there was a leaf
A rare leaf, a rattlin' leaf
The leaf on the twig
The twig on the branch
The branch on the limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that leaf there was a nest
A rare nest, a rattlin' nest
The nest on the leaf
The leaf on the twig
The twig on the branch
The branch on the limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And in that nest there was an egg
A rare egg, a rattlin' egg
Egg in a nest
The nest on the leaf
The leaf on the twig
The twig on the branch
The branch on the limb
The limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that egg there was a bird
A rare bird a rattlin' bird
Bird on the egg
Egg in a nest
Nest on the leaf
Leaf on the twig
Twig on the branch
Branch on the limb
Limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
And on that bird there was a flee
A rare flee, a rattlin' flee
The flee on the bird
Bird on the egg
Egg in a nest
Nest on the leaf
Leaf on the twig
Twig on the branch
Branch on the limb
Limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
Ho, oh, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Rare bog a rattlin' bog
In the bog down in the valley-o
On that flee there was a tick
A rare tick, a rattlin' tick
Tick on the flee
The flee on the bird
