The Snake (蛇) - Al Wilson
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
Oh well
She cried
I'll take you in and I'll take care of you
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
Take me in
Oh tender woman
Take me in
For heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
Now 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
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks
That snake gave her a vicious bite
Take me in
Oh tender woman
Take me in
For heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
I saved you
Cried that woman
And you've bit me even 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 d*mn well
I was a snake before you took me in
Please take me in
Oh tender woman
Take me in
For heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
Sighed the snake
Take me in tender woman
Take me in tender woman
