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 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 All te snakes crawl at night... Oh the trial in a little while was over and they sentenced me to die right away Lyrics to 'Snakes Crawl At Night' by Charley Pride. All the snakes crawl at night that's what they say When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play So I waited in the shadows until morning And the gun I held was trembling in my hand All te snakes crawl at night that's what they say When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play I watched that car pull right up into my driveway Saw a shadow slip away from my house
