Enma Fernández - Snake Lyrics

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
"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" sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy
In a comforter of silk
And then laid him by the fireside
With some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night
As soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking
To 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 then kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks
That 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 going to die
"Oh shut up, silly woman"
Said the reptile with a grin"
You knew damn well i was a snake
Before you take me in

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman" sighed the snake
