The Snakes Crawl At Night Lyrics & Chords By Charley Pride

The Snakes Crawl At Night
Chorus
Oh the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down. Oh the snakes will play
I watched that car pull right up into my driveway
Saw the shadow slip away from my house
So I hurried straight and looked into her room
And I found out that it was my loving spouse
Repeat chorus
So I waited in the shadows until morning
And the gun that I held was trembling in my hand
No I did not mean to give them any warning
For the devil on my shoulder had command
Repeat chorus
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 is something more that I would like to say
Repeat chorus
