Former President Donald Trump once again used 'The Snake" to push anti-immigrant sentiments at a rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday.
The crowd erupted in applause after Trump asked if they wanted to hear the song, which he referred to as a poem.
The 1968 soul hit, which was sung by Al Wilson, a Black man, is about a "tender-hearted woman" who saw "a poor half-frozen snake" and took it in.
The woman "wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk" and "laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk."
When the woman returned, the snake was "revived" but "instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)," the lyrics continue.
