The Snakes Crawl At Night

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 into my driveway, Saw a shadow slip away from my house, Then I hurried straight and looked in her room, And found it was my loving spouse, 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, For the devil on my shoulder had command, 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, The snakes crawl at night, That's what they say, When the sun goes down, Then the snakes will play,
