Shivaree - The Snake Lyrics
On the way to work one morningDown the path along side the lakeA tender hearted womanFound a poor half-frozen snakeHis pretty colored skinHad been all frosted with the dew"Poor thing" she cried, "I'll take you inAand I'll take care of you."Take me in tender womanTake me in for heaven's sakeTake me in tender womanSighed the SnakeShe wrapped him up all cozyIn a comforter of silkAnd laid him by the firesideWith some honey and some milkShe hurried home from work that nightAnd as soon as she arrivedShe found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived.Take me in tender womanTake me in for heaven's sakeTake me in tender womanSighed the SnakeShe 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."Well she stroked his pretty skin againAnd kissed him really tight,Instead of saying thanks,the snake gave her a vicious bite.Take me in tender womanTake me in for heaven's sakeTake me in tender womanSighed the Snake"I saved you!" cried the woman"And you've bitten me but why?""You know your bite is poisonousAnd now I'm gonna die.""Ha shut up, silly woman."Said that reptile with a grin."You knew darn well I was a snake before you took me in."Take me in tender womanTake me in for heaven's sakeTake me in tender womanSighed the SnakeTake me in tender womanSighed the SnakeTake me in tender womanSighed the Snake.
