Оригинален текст
Mind your step on rocky ground,
Careful putting your foot down;
There's a creature that habits there,
To avoid him you must beware.
In the crevasses and under stones,
This cold-blooded denizen makes his home;
The copperhead is full of spite,
The only viper with a silent bite.
Stretched out lazing in the sun,
His peaceful act don't fool me none;
His insides are mean and cold,
And he'll lash out like a lightning bolt.
Coiled and waiting that's his plan,
To take what he can take when he can;
Friendship ain't no thing he heeds,
Victims are his only need.
On the ground keep a watchful eye,
Wear your boots laced every eye;
The copperhead is full of spite,
The only viper with the silent bite.
