Snakes Crawl At Night

(Mel Tillis - Fred Burch)



All the snakes crawl at night

That's what they say

When the sun goes down

Then the sneaks will play.



Well, I watched that car pull right in my driveway

Then I saw a shadow slipping from my house

So I hurried straight and looked into her bedroom

And I found out that it was my loving spouse.



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

No, I did not plan to give them any warning

'Cause the devil on my shoulder had command.



All the snakes crawl at night

That's what they say

When the sun goes down

Then the sneaks will play.



Well, 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 I'd like to say.



All the snakes crawl at night

That's what they say

When the sun goes down

Then the sneaks will play.



When the sun goes down

Then the sneaks will play.



When the sun goes down

Then the sneaks will play...
