I woke up this mornin' 'bout half past four
Somebody knockin' on my back door

Sayin' that's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time

Yes, he rattled this mornin' 'bout half past three
Half past four he wanted to rattle some more

'Cause that's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnskin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time

I got a [?] in my kitchen, bakes bread nice and brown
Get my rattlesnakin' daddy turn my temper upside down

'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time
Rattle now boy

I can rattle to the left, rattle to the right
My woman said: I believe my rattlesnake daddy can rattle all night

'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time

I rattle every mornin', and late at night
Meanwhile my rattlesnake mama don't allow me out of her sight

'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time

Now the old folks rattlin', the young one too
Ain't nobody rattle just like the way I do

'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time

Yes, I rattled this mornin' 'bout half past ten
Half past nine, I'm goin' to rattle again

'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, I wants to rattle all the time
