1-On her way to work one morning
2-Down the path along side the lake
3-A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
4-His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
5-"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
6-"Take me in tender woman
7-Take me in, for heaven's sake
8-Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
9-She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
10-And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
11-She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
12-She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived
13-"Take me in, tender woman
14-Take me in, for heaven's sake
15-Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
16-She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
17-"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
18-She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
19-Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
20-"Take me in, tender woman
21-Take me in, for heaven's sake
22-Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
23-"I saved you," cried the woman
24-"And you've bitten me, but why?
25-You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
26-"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
27-"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
28-"Take me in, tender woman
29-Take me in, for heaven's sake
30-Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
