Subject: The Dreadful Snake From: GUEST,equalrice@yahoo.com Date: 06 Aug 00 - 07:17 PM Hi, I don't know if "The Dreadful Snake" is the title, but the refrain goes, "Daddy, there's an awful, dreadful snake." Anyone know where I can find the lyrics on line? I've heard there's a whole genre of snake attacking little girl songs, so I was surprised to not find any on Dig Trad. Thanks |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE DREADFUL SNAKE^^ From: rangeroger Date: 06 Aug 00 - 08:56 PM From the "Bluegrass Songbook" THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE DREADFUL SNAKE Albert Price 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 Chorus 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. 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 we can still hear her voice around our home. Bill Monroe does this on a couple of his records. rr ^^ |

Subject: RE: The Dreadful Snake From: Lonesome EJ Date: 18 Mar 07 - 01:46 PM Terrific version of this on Gob Iron, the recent release by Anders Parker and Jay Farrar. Heartbreaking and strange. |
Subject: RE: The Dreadful Snake From: Ron Davies Date: 18 Mar 07 - 01:58 PM Dry Branch also does a dynamite job on this. For my money, Ron Thomasson's voice is perfect for it. |
