The Guardian - Awful Dreadful Snake lyrics

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 and 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 cry 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 k** that snake It's getting dark tell mommy goodbye CHORUS I heard the screams of our little girl far away Hurry Daddy there's and awful dreadful snake I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods But I reached our darling girl too late 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 girl some day, it seems we still can hear her voice around our home CHORUS I heard the screams of our little girl far away Hurry Daddy there's and awful dreadful snake I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
