The Rattling Bog

Ro, ro the rattling bog
The bog down in the valley O

Rare bog the rattling bog
A bog down in the valley O



And on that bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattling tree
The tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley O

Each verse adds an additional line
And on that feather there was a flea
A rare flea a rattling flea

The flea on the feather and the feather on the wing
And the wing on the bird and the bird on the egg
And the egg on the nest and the nest on the leaf
And the leaf on the twig and the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb and the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley O
