lyrics
Down by the railroad track where the river bed's always dry
I lost my Bobby Sue one day when the river ran high.
Bobby couldn't swim Lord, no she couldn't swim
Weren't the river killed her Lord was the snake that did her in
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Wide-eyed and childlike, along the riverbed’s closest side
On her knees among the reeds looking for a place to hide
Raised her best I can lord, raised her best I can
Weren't the river killed her Lord was a fork-tongued lying man
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
I lost my Bobby Sue one day when the river ran high.
Bobby couldn't swim Lord, no she couldn't swim
Weren't the river killed her Lord was the snake that did her in
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Wide-eyed and childlike, along the riverbed’s closest side
On her knees among the reeds looking for a place to hide
Raised her best I can lord, raised her best I can
Weren't the river killed her Lord was a fork-tongued lying man
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
