lyrics

Little Boy’s walking on down the road, comes across a Rattlesnake and the Rattlesnake was old. ‘Take me up the mountain, please!’ the snake cried. ‘Just one more sunset before I die.’ Little Boy said ‘No, if I put you in my hands you’ll bite me and I’ll never breathe again.’ Rattlesnake said, ‘No, I give you my word. Just take me up the mountain and no one will be hurt.’ So that Little Boy he took that Rattlesnake to his chest, took him up the mountain and watched the sunset. That Little Boy knew the snake meant no harm, so he brought him down the mountain once it got dark. Rattlesnake, he says, ‘I'm getting very cold, won’t you do me a favor and put me in your coat?’ Little Boy had trust enough and soon he did oblige, walking down a mountain on a moonless night. Just before Little Boy laid Rattlesnake to rest, Rattlesnake, he turned, bit Little Boy in the chest. Little Boy cried out and said, ‘Now I will surely die!’ He turned to Rattlesnake and asked him, ‘Why?’ So that Rattlesnake he turned and looked up from the leaves at a Little Boy now begging on his knees. ‘Before you even picked me up, you knew who I was and what I do.’
