Lyrics
Rattler
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow,
Ridin' on some northern railroad.
Left some setting suns behind me;
There'll be many more before I'm through.
Rattler, take me home to my baby;
One-way ticket, bringin' me back to you.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Been away for such a long time;
You've been on my mind the whole time.
I've changed cities like an old coat,
Train a-rollin', don't know where I am.
Friends I'll never meet again,
Memories drifting by like grains of sand.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
Rattler movin' on down the line,
Dreams to carry me through the night.
Country lanes sweep by before me,
Friendly stars to light my way to you.
Rattler, take me home to my baby;
One more town, journey's almost through.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah;
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
(Humming and fade)
