I guess we have come full circle, Bill D.   Of course, that's easy for a snake. ;)

This Johnny Rivers site lists "The Snake" as being by Oscar Brown, Jr., but I don't know if they meant to say he wrote it. Or, if they did, that they are correct.

They have that pesky word as "comforter," instead of "coverture."

"...
She wrapped him up all cozy
in a comforter of silk
and then laid him by the fireside
with some honey and some milk.

There's another song I remember, sung by Harry Belafonte, called "Man Smart, Woman Smarter," which has a verse about Adam and Eve in the Garden Of Eden.

"...
Garden of Eden was very nice,
Adam never work in Paradise.
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone -
She make Adam work from that day on.
..."
