The Snakes Crawl at Night - Charley Pride

作词：Mel Tillis/Fred B. Burch

作曲：Mel Tillis/Fred B. Burch

Oh the snakes crawl at night

that's what they say

When the sun goes down

then the snakes will play

I watched that car pull right up into my

driveway

Saw a shadow slip away from my house

So I hurried straight and looked in her room

And I found out that it was my loving spouse

Oh the snakes crawl at night

that's what they say

When the sun goes down

then the snakes will play

So I waited in the shadows until morning

And the gun I held was trembling in my hand

No I did not plan to give them any warning

Cause the devil on my shoulder had command

Oh the snakes crawl at night

that's what they say

When the sun goes down

then the snakes will play

Oh the trial in a little while was over

And they sentenced me to die right away

But before I leave this courtroom

please Your Honor

There's something more

that I would like to say

Oh the snakes crawl at night

that's what they say

When the sun goes down

then the snakes will play

Oh the snakes crawl at night

that's what they say

When the sun goes down
