Old Man Rattler

Cho: 1       Ol' Man Rattler is born again

Free to get along, do his thing

Shake himself off, shed his skin

Leave it behind, won't ever need it again

Ol' Man Rattler is born again

Verse: 1          Everybody’s coming to the party tonight

In walks King Creole

Calls for his fiddle, Takes up his bow

He says "Let the good times roll”!

​

Cho: 2       Ol' Man Rattler is born again

          Free to get along, free to do his thing

Shake off, shed his skin

Leave it behind, ain't gonna use it again

Ol' Man Rattler is born again

Verse: 2          Fiddlers three show up for the dance

King Creole jumps in

Picks guitar like a man on fire

Jumps right out of his skin

​

Verse: 3          It is what it is, it ain’t what it aint

I’m telling you what some can’t

She gives him the eye as she dances by

You know, King Creole he’s no saint

Cho: 3       Ol' Man Rattler is born again

Get along, do your thing

Shake it off, shed yo' skin

Leave it behind, won't need it again

Ol' Man Rattler,  born again

Ol' Man Rattler,  born again

Ol' Man Rattler,  born again
