I watched that car pull right in my driveway saw a shadow slip away from my house
So I hurried straight back to 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 tremblin' in my hand
No I didn't plan to give them any warning
For the devil on my shoulder had command
All the snakes crawl at night...

Oh 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 that I would like to say
All the snakes crawl at night...
All the snakes crawl at night...
