RATTLIN' BOG - Lyrics
Trad. Arr. Schooner Fare

Rare Bog, the Rattlin' Bog, the bog down in the valley-O,
Rare Bog, the Rattlin' Bog, the bog down in the valley-O,
And in the bog there was a tree, a rare tree, a rattlin' tree
A tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.

And on the limb there was a branch.
And on the branch there was a twig.
And on the twig there was a leaf.
And on the leaf there was a nest.
And in the nest there was a bird.
And in the bird there was an egg.
And in the egg there was a bird.
And on the bird there was a wing.
And on the wing there was a feather.
And on the feather there was a flea.
And on the flea there was a rash.

If you can't keep up, you're not drinkin' enough! Great song. Well done boys.

[MyMoppet52]

@pvtvice Good comment. Well done boys!!! I'm drinkin' plenty if I have one though. After one they'd be shoveling me off the floor. You take care of my part, ok? ...and I'll try to keep up on my own. Thanks so much for stopping and commenting! Come back anytime you want...and sing along anytime! My best, Moppet

@MyMoppet52 Well, Schooner Fare having been an official part of my life for so long, I found myself wanting to know those specific details a while back. So I've been looking at old video clips and keeping track whenever I see them live. I've actually been typing up a playlist on my laptop.

@nuclearpenguins I'm so glad you found this and had nice memories. Thanks for stopping and commenting. That takes time and is appreciated! Stop by anytime you want to visit and sing-a-long! I never could keep it straight when it gets fast. My best, Barbara

I remember going through two of my father's cassettes of Alive when I was a kid, as I wore both of them out. We used to sing along to this song on car rides. Thanks for posting this, as I haven't heard it in years and it brought back many happy memories.
