The Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake Songtext
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 an 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 sigh, 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"
I heard the screams of our little girl far away
Hurry Daddy, there′s an awful, dreadful snake
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
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 some day
It seems I still can hear her voice around our home
I heard the screams of our little girl far away
Hurry Daddy, there′s an awful, dreadful snake
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
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 an 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 sigh, 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"
I heard the screams of our little girl far away
Hurry Daddy, there′s an awful, dreadful snake
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
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 some day
It seems I still can hear her voice around our home
I heard the screams of our little girl far away
Hurry Daddy, there′s an awful, dreadful snake
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
