*Old Rattler was a good ole dog, blind as he could be
Every night at supper time I believe that dog could see
Allemande left your corner lady, partner dosado
Allemande left with the corner lady, weave the ring you know
(Banjo for 8 beats)
Swing your lady go round and round and promenade you go
Here Rattler here, here, here Rattler here
Call old Rattler from the barn, here Rattler here
ALTERNATE LYRICS
**Old Rattler tree'd the other night, I thought he tree'd a coon
When I came to find out he was barking at the moon
***Well Grandma had a yeller hen, we set her as you know
We set her on 3 buzzard eggs, she hatched out one old crow
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade get 1/2 way round you go
Down the middle, touch 1/4, walk & dodge you know
Swing thru, boys run around the girl and then
Bend the line, right & left thru, turn the girl you know
Star thru, square thru 3/4 round
Swing that corner lady, promenade along
Here Rattler here, here, here Rattler here
Called old Rattler from the barn, here Rattler here
