SHE THINKS I STILL CARE
Charlie Pride - The Snakes Crawl At Night.
An eerie song where the narrator discovers his partner cheating and murders them mid-lovemaking. The lyrics are delivered with such a frankness and nonchalance, it’s creepy.
Would you believe that this is a black man singing?
I watched that car pull right up into my driveway
Saw a shadow slip away from my house
So I hurried straight and looked in her room
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…
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
All the snakes crawl at night…
