The Snake - Al Wilson[00:00:00]
Written by:OscarBrown Jr[00:00:01]
On her way to work one morning[00:00:15]
Down the path along side the lake[00:00:18]
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake[00:00:22]
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew[00:00:28]
Oh well she cried I'll take you in and I'll take care of you[00:00:34]
Take me in tender woman[00:00:41]
Take me in for heaven's sake[00:00:44]
Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:00:47]
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk[00:00:56]
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk[00:01:02]
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived[00:01:08]
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived[00:01:15]
Take me in tender woman[00:01:21]
Take me in for heaven's sake[00:01:24]
Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:01:27]
She clutched him to her bosom you're so beautiful she cried[00:01:39]
But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died[00:01:45]
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight[00:01:52]
Instead of saying thanks the snake gave her a vicious bite[00:01:59]
Take me in tender woman[00:02:05]
Take me in for heaven's sake[00:02:08]
Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:02:11]
I saved you cried the woman[00:02:23]
And you've bitten me but why[00:02:26]
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die[00:02:30]
Oh shut up silly woman said the reptile with a grin[00:02:36]
You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in[00:02:42]
Please take me in tender woman[00:02:48]
Take me in for heaven's sake[00:02:52]
Take me in tender woman sighed the snake sighed the snake[00:02:55]
Take me in tender woman sighed the snake sighed the snake[00:03:07]
Take me in tender woman[00:03:20]
