The Rattlin' Bog Lyrics

von Seamus Kennedy

Ho ro, the rattlin' bog, and the bog down in the valley-O
Rare bog, and a rattlin' bog, and the bog down in the valley-O.
In that bog there was a hole, rare hole and a rattlin' hole,
And the hole in the bog, and the bog down in the valley-O.

And in that hole there was a tree, rare tree and a rattlin' tree,
And the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.

And on that tree there was a bough, rare bough and a rattlin' bough,
And the bough on the tree, and the tree in the hole, and the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-O.

And on that bough there was a limb, rare limb and a rattlin' limb,
Limb on the bough and the bough on the tree, and the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog, and the bog down in the valley-O.
