[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin' 'bout half past four
Somebody knockin' on my back door
[Refrain]
Sayin' that's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!
[Verse 2]
Yes, he rattled this mornin' 'bout half past three
Half past four he wanted to rattle some more
[Refrain]
'Cause that's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnakin' daddy
That's my rattlesnskin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!
[Verse 3]
I got a [range?] in my kitchen, bakes bread nice and brown
Get my rattlesnakin' daddy turn my [temper] upside down
[Refrain]
'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!
[Verse 4]
I can rattle to the left, rattle to the right
My woman said, "I believe my rattlesnake daddy can rattle all night!"
[Refrain]
'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
[Refrain]
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!
[Verse 6]
Now the old folks rattlin', the young one too
Ain't nobody rattle just like the way I do
[Refrain]
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, wants to rattle all the time!
[Verse 7]
Yes, I rattled this mornin' 'bout half past ten
Half past nine, I'm goin' to rattle again
[Refrain]
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
'Cause I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy
I'm a rattlesnakin' daddy, I wants to rattle all the time!
