and got a big surprise
a great big snake was layin' there
right before my eyes.
Granny had her notched stick,
she always carries it;
she whacked that snake across the head
and wasn't scared a bit.
My other Grandma's scared o' snakes.
she woulda turned and run.
She woulda been so awful scared
and thought that was no fun
but Granny's not afraid at all.
She killed him like a man;
then went into the kitchen
and notched her stick again.
All the snakes 'round Stony Fork
I bet they'll take to runnin'
every time they look around
and see my Granny comin'!
