Guardian Album: Sunday Best Track: Awful Dreadful Snake
Awful Dreadful Snake Lyrics
Our darling wandered far away while she was out at play Lost in the woods she couldn't hear a sound She was our darling girl the sweetest thing in all the world We searched for her but she couldn't be found
I heard the screams of our little girl far away Hurry Daddy there's and awful dreadful snake I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods But I reached our darling girl too late
Oh I began to cry I knew that soon she'd have to die For the snake was warning me close by I held her close to my face she said daddy kill that snake It's getting dark tell mommy goodbye
To all parents I must say don't let your children stray away They need your love to guide them along Oh God I pray we'll see our darling girl some day It seems we still can hear her voice around our home
