The snake


Brown

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 all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she
arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee 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 kissed and held him
tight
Instead of saying thanks, the 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 took me in
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

Version II

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

Now she wrapped him all cozy in a coverture 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 taken to had been revived
"Take me in, oh 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"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and
held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious
bite!
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
"Now I saved you," cried the woman
And you've bit me, even why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to
die"
"Ah shut up, silly woman," said that reptile with a grin
“Now you knew darn well I was a snake before you brought
me in
Please, take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake, sighed the
snake
“Take me in tender woman
“Come on in you pretty snake…
Come on in, yeah, come on in you pretty snake…

Biografia

Black Oak Arkansas was a successful Southern Rock group during the 1970's - their best known hit was "Jim Dandy (to the Rescue)" co-sung with the sensational Miss Ruby Starr. They were even more successful on the touring circuit as their performances and Jim Dandy's image were both highly influential. Black Oak's live energy was often complimented when joined by Ruby Starr both in concert, and on many television appearances. Black Oak Arkansas was also the starting point for drummer Tommy Aldridge who later went on to fame with the likes of Ozzy, and Whitesnake. By the late 1970s, Black Oak faded away after several line-up and musical changes. Jim Dandy had also suffered a heart attack in 1980.
