| On her way to work one morning
|
| Down the path along side the lake
|
| A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
|
| His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
|
| «Oh well,» she cried, «I'll take you in and I’ll take care of you»
|
| «Take me in oh tender woman (come on in)
|
| Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
|
| Take me in, for heaven’s sake
|
| Take me in tender woman,» sighed the snake
|
| She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
|
| And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
|
| Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
|
| She found that pretty snake she’d taking in had been revived
|
| «Take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
|
| Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
|
| Take me in tender woman,» sighed the snake
|
| Now 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»
|
| Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
|
| But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (oh…)
|
| «Take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
|
| Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
|
| Take me in tender woman,» sighed the snake
|
| «I saved you,» cried that woman
|
| «And you’ve bit me even, why?
|
| And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die»
|
| «Oh shut up, silly woman,» said the reptile with a grin
|
| «You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in
|
| «Please take me in, oh tender woman (come on in)
|
| Take me in, for heaven’s sake (come on in)
|
| Take me in tender woman,» sighed the snake
|
| Sighed the snake
|
| «Take me in, tender woman»
|
| Sighed the snake, sighed the snake
|
| «Take me in, tender woman»
|
| Sighed the snake |
