Chords in this song6
Verse 1
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"
Chorus
"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Verse 2
She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by the 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 in had been re-vived
Chorus
"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Verse 3
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
But instead of saying "thanks", the snake gave her a vicious bite
Chorus
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Verse 4
"I saved you," cried the woman
"And you've bitten me, even 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 darn well I was a snake before you brought me in
Chorus
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
