Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake Lyrics by The Holy Modal Rounders

Too Much Fun!

0

[Verse 1]
My darling wandered far away while she was out at play
Lost in the woods, I couldn't hear a sound
She was my darling little girl, the sweetest thing in all this world
I looked for her but she couldn't be found
[Chorus]
Heard the scream of our little old girl far away
Crying, "Daddy, there's an awful dreadful snake"
Ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary wood
But I reached my darling girl too late
[Verse 2]
Well, I began to cry for soon she had to die
The snake was waiting close by
Held her close to my face, she said, "Daddy, kill that snake
It's getting dark, tell Momma goodbye"
[Chorus]
Heard the scream of our little girl far, far away
Crying, "Daddy, there's an awful dreadful snake"
Ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached my darling girl too late
[Verse 3]
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 someday
Seems like we can hear her voice around the home
[Chorus]
Heard the scream of our little girl far, far away
Crying, "Daddy, there's an awful dreadful snake"
Ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary wood
But I reached my darling girl too late
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary wood
But I reached my darling girl too late
