The Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake Songtext

von Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys

Our darlin' wandered far away while she was out at play
Lost in the woods she couldn't hear a sound
She was our darlin' 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 wood
But i reached our darlin' girl too late
Oh i began to sigh i knew that soon she'd have to die
For the snake was warnin' me close by
I held her close to my face she said daddy kill that snake
It's gettin' 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 out darlin' some day
It seems i still can hear her voice around our home
