Snail Trail - The Snails

My momma told me «son

Don’t ever go that way»

My papa told me «son

Don’t ever go astray»

And the people gathered round

To help me on my way

And I almost shed a tear

For the home I’d never see again

It was a rough day

My momma told me «son

You’ll grow so big and strong»

My papa told me «son

You’ll tell them right from wrong»

And my family gathered round

To help me pack my shell

And my little brother cried

Lonely little snail

It was a rough day

It’s a big old world

It’s a big wide world

The grass is so high, it’s so high

It’s a big old world

It’s a big wide world

The grass is so high, it’s so high

And the people gathered round

To help me on my way

And I almost shed a tear

For the home I’d never see again

And my family gathered round

To help me pack my shell

And my little brother cried

Lonely little snail

It was a rough day
