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
oh Well, She Cried, ill Take You In And Ill Take Care Of You
take Me In Oh Tender Woman
take Me In, For Heavens 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 Workthat Night As Soon As She Arrived
she Found That Pretty Snake Shed Taking In Had Been Revived
take Me In, Oh Tender Woman
take Me In, For Heavens Sake
take Me In Oh Tender Woman, Sighed The Snake

now She Clutched Him To Her Bosom, youre So Beautiful, She Cried
but If I Hadnt 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 Heavens Sake
take Me In Oh Tender Woman, Sighed The Snake

i Saved You, Cried That Woman
and Youve Bit Me Even, Why
you Know Your Bite Is Poisonous And Now Im Going To Die
oh Shut Up, Silly Woman, Said The Reptile With A Grin
you Knew Damn Well I Was A Snake Before You Took Me In
take Me In, Oh Tender Woman
take Me In, For Heavens Sake
take Me In Oh Tender Woman, Sighed The Snake
