The Snake |
| Songwriters: Mcgough, Daniel Carson; |
| Parsley, Ambrosia Nicole |
| On the way to work one morning |
| Down the path along side the lake |
| A tender hearted woman |
| Found a poor half-frozen snake |
| His pretty colored skin |
| Had been all frosted with the dew |
| «Poor thing» she cried, «I'll take you in |
| Aand I’ll take care of you.» |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Take me in for heaven’s sake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
| She wrapped him up all cozy |
| In a comforter of silk |
| And laid him by the fireside |
| With some honey and some milk |
| She hurried home from work that night |
| And as soon as she arrived |
| She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Take me in for heaven’s sake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
| She clutched him to her bosom |
| «You're so beautiful» she cried |
| «But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died.» |
| Well she stroked his pretty skin again |
| And kissed him really tight |
| Instead of saying thanks |
| The snake gave her a vicious bite |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Take me in for heaven’s sake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
| «I saved you!» |
| cried the woman |
| «And you’ve bitten me but why?» |
| «You know your bite is poisonous |
| And now I’m gonna die.» |
| «Ha shut up, silly woman.» |
| Said that reptile with a grin |
| «You knew darn well I was a snake before you took me in.» |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Take me in for heaven’s sake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
| Take me in tender woman |
| Sighed the Snake |
