paroles de chanson The Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake - The Infamous Stringdusters

Our darling wandered far away while she was out at play
Lost in the woods, she couldn't hear a sound
She was our darling girl, the sweetest thing in all the world
We searched for her but she couldn't be found

I heard the screams of our little girl far, far away
"Hurry Daddy, there's an awful, dreadful snake"
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late

Oh, I began to sigh, I knew that soon she'd have to die
For the snake was warning me close by
I held her close to my face, she said, "Daddy, kill that snake
It's getting late, tell mommy goodbye"

I heard the screams of our little girl far, far away
"Hurry Daddy, there's an awful, dreadful snake"
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late

To all parents, I must say, don't let your children stray away
They need your love to guide them along
Oh God, I pray we'll see our darling girl some day
I can still hear her voice around our home

I heard the screams of our little girl far, far away
"Hurry Daddy, there's an awful, dreadful snake"
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
