The Snakes Crawl at Night
 
Chorus:
 
AThe snakes crawl at night,
 
That's what they Dsay, A
 
When the sun goes Edown,
 
Then the snakes will Aplay,
 
I watched that car pull into my driveway,
 
Saw a shadow slip away from my Ehouse,
 
Then I Ahurried straight and looked in Dher room,
 
And Afound it was my Eloving Aspouse,
 
Repeat Chorus
 
So I waited in the shadows until morning,
 
And the gun I held was trembling in my Ehand,
 
No, I Adid not plan to give them any Dwarning,
 
For the Adevil on my Eshoulder had Acommand,
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Oh, the trial in a little while, was over,
 
And they sentenced me to die right Eaway,
 
But Abefore I leave this courtroom please, your Dhonor,
 
There's Asomething more that EI would like to Asay,
 
Repeat Chorus X2
