The Snakes Crawl at Night
Recorded by Charley Pride
written by Mel Tillis and Fred Burch

Key Bb 34-130 U5-4

 G 
The snakes crawl at night
                  C   G 
That's what they s-ay
                   D7 
When the sun goes down
                      G 
Then the snakes will play


I watched that car pull into my driveway
                                D7 
Saw a shadow slip away from my house

Then I hurried straight and looked in her room
                            G 
And found it was my loving spouse


So I waited in the shadows until morning
                                        D7 
And the gun I held was trembling in my hand

No I did not plan to give them any warning
                                  G 
For the devil on my shoulder had command


Oh the trial in a little while was over
                                    D7 
And they sentenced me to die right away

But before I leave this courtroom please your honor
                                             G 
There's something more that I would like to say
