The Snake - Oscar Brown Jr[00:00:00]

Written by：Oscar Brown Jr[00:00:02]

On her way to work one morning[00:00:05]

Down the path alongside the lake[00:00:07]

A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake[00:00:11]

His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew[00:00:16]

Poor thing she cried I'll take you in and[00:00:22]

I'll take care of you[00:00:25]

Take me in tender woman[00:00:27]

Take me in for heaven's sake[00:00:30]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:00:33]

She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk[00:00:42]

And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk[00:00:48]

She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived[00:00:54]

She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived[00:00:59]

Take me in tender woman[00:01:05]

Take me in for heaven's sake[00:01:08]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:01:10]

She clutched him to her bosom you're so beautiful she cried[00:01:19]

But if I hadn't brought if[00:01:25]

In by now you[00:01:27]

Might have died[00:01:29]

She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight[00:01:31]

Instead of saying thanks the snake gave her a vicious bite[00:01:36]

Take me in tender woman[00:01:42]

Take me in for heaven's sake[00:01:44]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:01:47]

I saved you cried the woman[00:01:56]

And you've bitten me but why[00:01:59]

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die[00:02:02]

Oh shut up silly woman said the reptile with a grin[00:02:07]

You knew d**n well I was a snake before[00:02:13]

You took me in[00:02:16]

Take me in tender woman[00:02:18]

Take me in for heaven's sake[00:02:21]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:02:24]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:02:30]

Take me in tender woman sighed the snake[00:02:35]
