She trapped a rattler out behind the barn
and she let it go without any harm
then she came inside for a cup of tea
and she spoke for a while with my brother and me

chasing after feild mice running through the high grass 
thats what she loves to do
and if she's happy as a mongoose, shouldn't bother me or you
