Translation
Bilingual
On her way to work one morning
Down the patch alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman
Saw a poor half-frozen snake
And its 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, oh, tender woman
(Come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake
(Come on in)
Take me in, tender woman
(Come on in)

Now she wrapped it up all cozy
In a coat 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
Now she found that pretty snake
She'd taken good care of it, had been revived
Take me in, oh, tender woman
(Come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake
(Come on in)
Take me in, tender woman
(Come on in)

Now she clutched him to her bosom
"Yes, I'm very sorry," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in
By now you might have died"
Now she stroked its pretty skin again
And then kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying, "Thanks," that snake
Gave her a vicious bite
Take me in, oh, tender woman
(Come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake
(Come on in)
Take me in, tender woman
(Come on in)

"Ah, save me," cried the woman
"And you'll get from me that wine
And you know your bite is poisonous
And now I'm gonna die"
"Oh, shut up," said the woman
Said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was so stung
Before you took me in"
Please take me in, oh, tender woman
(Come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake
(Come on in)
Take me in, tender woman
(Come on in)
Sider snake
Take me in, oh, tender woman
(Come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake
(Come on in)
Take me in, tender woman
(Come on in)
