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
