Rattler’s Pup Grandpa Jones

[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
