[E] Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes will [E] play
I watched that car pull right up into my driveway
Saw a shadow slip away from [B] my eye
So I hurried straight and looked in her room
And I found out that it was my loving [E] spouse
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes [E] will play
So I waited in the shadows until morning
And the gun I held was trembling in [B] my hand
No, I did not plan to give them any warning
For the devil on my shoulder had [E] command
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes [E] will play
Oh, the trial in a little while over
And they sentenced me to die [B] away
But before I leave this courtroom, please, your honor
There's something more that I would like [E] to say
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes [E] will play
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes will [E] play
I watched that car pull right up into my driveway
Saw a shadow slip away from [B] my eye
So I hurried straight and looked in her room
And I found out that it was my loving [E] spouse
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes [E] will play
So I waited in the shadows until morning
And the gun I held was trembling in [B] my hand
No, I did not plan to give them any warning
For the devil on my shoulder had [E] command
Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun [B] goes down, then the snakes [E] will play
Oh, the trial in a little while over
And they sentenced me to die [B] away
But before I leave this courtroom, please, your honor
