Lead Belly


Old Riley walked the water
Well Old Riley walked the water
On them, long, hot summer days

Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Get 'em Rattler
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here

Old Riley, he's a long gone
Old Riley, he's a long gone
On them, long, hot summer days

Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Get 'em boy
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Get 'em Rattler
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here

Well, Old Riley left here walking
Old Riley left here walking
On them, long, hot summer days

Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here
Get 'em boy
Here Rattler, here Rattler, here Rattler, here

Well, Old Riley he's a long gone
Old Riley, he's a long gone
On them, long, hot summer days

Old Riley gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here
Old Riley gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here
Old Reilly gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here
Get 'em boy
Old Riley gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here

Well Old Riley walked the water
Old Riley walked the water
On them, long, hot summer days

Old Riley gone with his long clothes on
Here Rattler, here
Old Riley gone with his long clothes on
Here Rattler, here
Old Riley gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here
Old Riley gone like a turkey through the corn
Here Rattler, here

Get 'em boy!
