Rattling Bog

     Oh, aye, a rattling bog, bog down in the valley-O
     A rare bog, a rattling bog, a bog down in the valley-O

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

And on that tree there was a limb…
And on that limb there was a branch…
And on that branch there was a twig…
And on that twig there was a leaf…
And on that leaf there was a nest…
And in that nest there was an egg…
And on that egg there was a lion…
And on that lion there was a mane…
And on that main there was a ship…
And on that ship there was a deck…
And on that deck there was a cabin…
And in that cabin there was a table…
And on that table there was a map…
And on that map there was a BOG
