On her way to work one mornin' down the path alongside 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,"
Sighеd the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by thе 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 in had been 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 gonna die."
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew darn 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
"Take me in, tender woman,"
Sighed the snake
"Take me in, tender woman,"
Sighed the snake
