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
