[00:00:05] On her way to work one morning

[00:00:07] Down the path alongside the lake

[00:00:10] A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake

[00:00:16] His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew

[00:00:22] Poor thing she cried I'll take you in and I'll take care of you

[00:00:27] Take me in tender woman

[00:00:30] Take me in for heaven's sake

[00:00:33] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake

[00:00:42] She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk

[00:00:48] And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk

[00:00:53] She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived

[00:00:59] She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived

[00:01:04] Take me in tender woman

[00:01:07] Take me in for heaven's sake

[00:01:10] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake

[00:01:19] She clutched him to her bosom you're so beautiful she cried

[00:01:25] But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died

[00:01:30] She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight

[00:01:36] Instead of saying thanks the snake gave her a vicious bite

[00:01:41] Take me in tender woman

[00:01:44] Take me in for heaven's sake

[00:01:47] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake

[00:01:56] I saved you cried the woman

[00:01:59] And you've bitten me but why

[00:02:01] You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die

[00:02:07] Oh shut up silly woman said the reptile with a grin

[00:02:13] You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in

[00:02:18] Take me in tender woman

[00:02:21] Take me in for heaven's sake

[00:02:24] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake

[00:02:29] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake

[00:02:34] Take me in tender woman sighed the snake
