Текст песни The Snake - David Ford

On her way to work one morning, by a path alongside the bay
A tender hearted woman, found a poor hard frozen snake
His pretty coloured skin had been all frosted with the dew
Ah well she cried I'll take you in, and I'll take care of you

Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake

Well she wrapped him up all cosy, in a couverture of silk
Then she laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
And she hurried back from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she had taken in had been revived

Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake

Well she clutched him to her boesem, you're so beautiful she cried
But if I had not brought you in, by now you might've died
And she stroked his pretty coloured skin she kissed him held him tight
But instead of saying thanks that snake gave her a vicious bite

Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake

Well I saved you cried that woman
Now you bit me even why
Cause you know your body is poisonous and now I'm gonna die
Ah shut up you silly woman, said the reptile with a grin
Cause you knew damn well I was a snake, before you brought me in.

Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
Sighed the snake

Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake.
