My Rattle Stick

My Rattle Stick

Oh Hand me down, my rattle stick

Oh Hand me down, my rattle stick

With Beer bottle tops, on an old broom stick

I will play it, and drive your cares away,

I will play it, And drive your cares away.

To make this stick,use bottle tops

You purchase them from a liquor shop,

Of course you drink the contents first,

That’s no problem, when you’ve a thirst

That’s no problem, when you’ve a thirst

There are many, good mates of mine,

I can depend on them each time.

With beer to drink and there is lots,

To help me get my bottle tops.

The stick is from,( my dear wife’s broom)

I borrowed it, one afternoon

You gather tops, the nails, the stick

And then build the rattle stick.

And then build the rattle stick.

You’ve made it mate, it’s really yours

You think its great, that’s just because,

The thing is real, now get the feel.

And play, the rattle stick

And play, the rattle stick

So hand me down, My rattle stick

Oh Hand me down my rattle stick

Oh Hand me down my rattle stick

With Beer bottle tops, on an old brum stick

I will play it, and drive your cares away,

I will play it, and drive your cares away,

I will play it, and drive your cares away,
