lyrics

Little Boy's walking on down the road,
Comes across a rattlesnake, 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 took that Rattlesnake to his chest, took him up the mountain and watched the sun set.
Little Boy knew the Snake meant no harm, so he brought him down the mountain once it got dark.

Rattlesnake said, "I'm getting very cold. Won't you do a favor and put me in your coat?"
Little Boy had trust enough and soon he did oblige, walking down the 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 the Rattlesnake and asked him "Why?"

So that Rattlesnake turned and looked up from the leaves, at the Little Boy now begging on his knees.
"Before you even picked me up you knew, who I was...
And what I do..."
