Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella on November 7, 1942 in New York City) is an American rock and roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He was versatile enough to do folk songs, blues, covers of old-time Rock n' roll songs, and some original material, all of them in his own unique style. Rivers's greatest success came in the mid and late 1960s with a string of hit songs (including "Seventh Son," "Poor Side of Town" and "Secret Agent Man") but he has continued to record and perform to the present.

You mean nobody remembers this song?
The Snake (Johnny Rivers?????)
(Chords the way I remembered)
Dm On her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake A7Dm A tender hearted woman found a poor half frozen snake Dm She Clutched him to her bosom your so beautiful she cried A7Dm And if I hadn't came along You might have well had died
Dm chorus Take me in ole tender women Take me in for heaven sake A7Dm Take me in ole tendered woman ssssssssighed the Snake
Actually I believe the song was kinda dirty... You see she takes the snake into her home and Oh more words "She Laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk" Well, one day she comes home to find that the snake had completely recovered and was packed and ready to leave. So naturally she said something about him leaving to which he says
"Shut-up silly woman said that reptile with a grin" "You knew my bite was posionous before you took me in"
