I remember the chorus. ## I heard the screams, of a little girl/ far, far away__ ## Crying Daddy, there's an awful big snake ## Ran as fast as I could/through the dark and dreary wood_ ## But I reached my little girl too late Any bells going off? I haven't been able to find it in DT, but I thought someone here might kknow anyhow. -thanks, Adam p.s. I have a set of lyrics to "Colored Aristocracy" that I was hoping to send in, but I haven't got any way to produce a MIDI file. Should I submit it anyhow? Click here for lyrics to "Dreadful Snake."

I believe the name of this bluegrass song is "The Dreadful Snake". I'd say there's more to this song than meets the eye. I'm sure someone else will pick up on this. Barry |
