Текст песни The Snake - Oscar Brown Jr.
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
"Poor
thing,"
she
cried,
"I′ll
take
you
in
and
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
all
cozy
in
a
comforter
of
silk
And
laid
him
by
her
fireside
with
some
honey
and
some
milk
She
hurried
home
from
work
that
night
and
soon
as
she
arrived
She
found
that
pretty
snake
she'd
taken
to
had
bee
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"
She
stroked
his
pretty
skin
again
and
kissed
and
held
him
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
going
to
die"
"Oh
shut
up,
silly
woman,"
said
the
reptile
with
a
grin
"You
knew
damn
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
