Snakes Craw At Night
Charley Pride
Album: RCA Country Legends
E A E
The snakes crawl at night, that's what they s--ay
B7 E

Then I hurried straight and looked in her room

E A E
The snakes crawl at night, that's what they s--ay
B7 E
When the sun goes down, then the snakes will play

E A E
The snakes crawl at night, that's what they s--ay

And they sentenced me to die right away
But before I leave this courtroom please your honor
E
There's something more that I would like to say
E A E
The snakes crawl at night, that's what they s--ay
B7 E
When the sun goes down, then the snakes will play
E A E
The snakes crawl at night, that's what they s--ay
B7 (Fade Out)
When the sun goes down,
