The snakes crawl at night That's what they say When the sun goes down Then the snakes will play
I watched that car pull into my driveway Saw a shadow slip away from my house Then I hurried straight and looked in her room And found it was my loving spouse
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 For the devil on my shoulder had command
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's something more that I would like to say
