Bill Monroe
The Little Girl and the Dreadful Snake
Our Darlin' wandered far away while she was out at playLost in the woods she couldn't hear a soundShe was our darlin' girl the sweetest thing in all the worldWe searched for her but she couldn't be foundI heard the screams of our little girl far awayHurry daddy there's an awful dreadful snakeI ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woodBut I reached our darlin' girl too lateOh I began to sigh I knew that soon she'd have to dieFor the snake was warnin' me close byI held her close to my face she said Daddy kill that snakeIt's gettin' dark tell Mommy goodbyeTo all parents I must say don't let your children stray awayThey need your love to guide them alongOh God I pray we'll see out darlin' some dayIt seems I still can hear her voice around our home
