Rattlesnake Mountain

On Rattlesnake me-y-Mountain I did dee-y-dwell
And I've got a stee-y-story I'm a gonna tee-y-tell
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

A nice young me-y-man in the month of me-y-May
Went down to the fee-y-fields for to mow his hee-y-hay
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

He had not mow-y-wowed all around that fee-y-field
When a rattle-copper-snee-y-snake come and bit him on the hee-y-heel
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

He jumped up hee-y-high and he looked all a-ree-ry-round
And closed his ee-y-eye and he fell to the gee-y-ground
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

He told the bee-y-bird go fetch my gee-y-gal
I'm rattlesnake bee-y-bit and I need my see-y-Sal
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

The bird did flee-y-fly and spread the new-y-wews
And along come see-y-Sal without any shoe-y-wews
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

Johnny dee-y-dear why did you go-y-wo
Down into the fee-y-fields the hay for to mow-y-wo
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

Sally dee-y-dear I thought you know-y-wowed
Whe the hay is ree-ry-ripe it's gotta be mow-y-wowed
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

Johnny dee-y-dear I'll save your lee-y-life
If I may bee-y-wee your sweet little wee-y-wife
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

She grabbed his lee-y-leg and made him sqee-y-squeal
And sucked that p'ison blood right outta his hee-y-heel
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

Now, Sal she hee-y-had a rotten too-y-wooth
And the p'ison stee-y-struck and killed them bow-y-both
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

The nee-y-neighbors found that they was dee-y-dead
And laid the bee-y-both upon one bee-y-bed
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

So all young lee-y-lovers a warning tee-y-take
From Johnny bee-y-Bland and Sally bee-y-Blake
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue

In mind when you in lee-y-love don't pee-y-pass
To close to pee-y-patches of high gee-y-grass
Tum-a rood-i rood-i rue
