When she went walking in the woods She heard someone call out to her And then she noticed the man Who would become her husband She went away with him To his home in a cave He said "Stay for three days" Instead she stayed three years She was so far from home But safe inside the cavern He said her family would find her And one day he was proven right Her Serpent Husband And when they found her there They asked her what she'd done And when she told them She saw her husband come This time he was no man He was in his true form She was living with a snake In a land of plentiful corn Next time you go in the Wood Don't listen to the whistles Every time you hear a sound Turn and walk away If a man should call you Never walk with him Always ignore the signal Or a snake be your husband
