Charley Pride - Snakes Crawl At Night lyrics

SNAKES CRAWL AT NIGHT

by Charlie Pride

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 honour

There is something more that I would like to say
