Snakes Crawl At Night Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

All the snakes crawl at night that's what they say 

When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play 

Well I watched that car pull right in my driveway 

Then I saw a shadow slipping from my house 

So I hurried straight and looked into her bedroom 

And I found out that it was my loving spouse 

All the snakes crawl at night... 

So I waited in the shadows until morning and the gun I held was trembling in my hand 

No I did not plan to give them any warning 

Cause the devil on my shoulder had command 

All the snakes crawl at night... 

Well 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 I'd like to say 

All the snakes crawl at night... 

When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play 

When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play
