The Bog

They say there is a tree A rare tree, a rattlin' tree Nowhere to be found Staying safe and sound On that tree there is a branch A rare branch, a rattlin' branch That's where we go On a branch there's a twig A rare twig, a rattlin' twig Up on the branch On the tree that's laying low Somewhere in the bog For no one to see, oh Twig on the branch And the branch on the tree And the tree down in the valley-o Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? On the twig there is a leaf A rare leaf, a rattlin' leaf Up on the twig On the branch that's made for it That leaf on the tree Who's gonna find it? No one but me, oh! On the leaf there's a nest A rare nest, a rattlin' nest Nest on the leaf That's growing on the twig On the twig on the branch On the tree that I am looking for Nest on the leaf And the leaf on the twig And the twig on the branch And the branch on the tree And the tree down in the valley-o Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? And when that bog is found, I'll shout Hoorah Hoorah! A bird in the nest on the leaf will make my day My day! On the branch on the tree we'll be swaying And the fiddle and the drum will be playing On the branch on the tree And the tree on the bog On the bog down in the valley-o The bird on the egg in the nest on the leaf will sing We'll sing! And the twig on the branch on the tree on the bog will swing We'll swing! High up in the air she'll be soaring From high above she'll be calling From the nest on the leaf On the twig on the branch On the tree down in the valley-o Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o? Ho, ho, the rattlin' bog The bog down in the valley-o Where is the bog, the rattlin' bog Down there in the valley-o?
