THE SNAKES CRAWL AT NIGHT by CHARLEY PRIDE

[Awharry36]

I remember my older brother got his first 8 track tape player, and he used to play this in the bathroom when he was taking a bath, and he'd be singing. hahha old memories very good.

[kglocke]

My dad played this song over and over. I remember the 45 record like it was yesterday.

[jokes2hi]

[MrsKittykatt009]

My god I love this song to death

[TheDonna1477]

Love it♥♥♥ Best rendition I have found~the real Charley!!

[SteveZimmerman1]

him and david allen coe are twin brothers

[originalenglishrosey]

The most classic country I know. This man made me a believer in the genre. Is there a Pride song you don't know the words to? That is what makes a good song, a great song is made by an Artist that simple will never be able to be re-recorded and be believable. I still have all his 33 rpms, and still can dance to Your My Jamica. I believe Crystal Chandeliers was his finest moment. Thank you for great American Music.

[jokes2hi]

We NEED someone to bring back his classics and redistribute them. Originals, NOT re-recordings!!!



[farmers386]

[prowlybaked]

Brings back memories of Desimboque Mexico early 70s sitting around the campfire with my Ma and Pa

[jorunskardenni]

Charley is a great country singer.I like his voice very well

[TiberiusStorm]

what ta hell is that supposed to mean? snakes crawl at night LoL.

[jhillsmo]

@TiberiusStorm it means you are an idiot.  stare at the tv some more

[jhillsmo]

@TiberiusStorm how do you say it with explicit clearness...ur a fukin dumbass

[jhillsmo]

@TiberiusStorm you obviousy watch for american idol than nature. snakes hunt at night searching for prey using their sense of heat. most warm bloded creatures are motionless making for an easier hunt. the analogy is he comes home and finds the cold blooded snake mother fucker doing his old lady, the warm body. are you really that stupid or are you to lazy to research that question?

[princesspotpot]

I remember this when I was 4 years old my mom was always played this song

[sharkycast14]

ma mom grow up lisening to charlie pride

[bo31red38]

Listen USA, this is COUNTRY! and damn he's good!

[kjf5081]

[ShellTrek]

I'll forever luv Charlie!

[yakidak]

Im in australia and I grew up listening to this...I used to sing with my dad when I was about 5...

[gibney98smithy]

i live in ireland and i grew up listening to charley he is my altime fave he is a legend could listen to his music all day great man

[myrasserretta22]

I live in ireland too but went to south africa when I was 5 years old and grew up with charlie's music on my dads old 48 tapes (I think they were called) the tapes were huge and played in his car - snakes crawl at night is one of my all time favourites!!!!!

[gibney98smithy]

yes i rem those tapes they are the ones we had here as well i have so many of charleys cds now i think im pretty close to having most of them . my grown up family look at me when i put one on and say o no not charley pride again lol but u no i think i have them converted . lol

[rdaify]

@myrasserretta22

Were they called 8 track tapes?

[nexiumseven]

Great,song.s from a great man.

[thomasowens93]

now that is good

[bearcub410]

one of the best country singers i have ever heard . i wish country music today was like this ,. i don't listen to country anymore . this is fantastic , thanks

[bcats60]

@bearcub410 can't agree with you more,this man is a icon in country music

[ALTDOK]

If you ask me, which you did not, I'd put him right up there with Johnny Cash...

[Weepingsteel]

@ALTDOK

Naw, Charlie Pride was a good singer, but he wasn't as loose as other country artists.

[Buddawg1960]

If ya ask me, he beats Johnny Cash by a mile

[jbrylsjims]

Agree, he is wonderful. I saw him in Branson, MO. 2x. His son has a wonderful voice also. My father played and and sang in bands all my life. I used to have fun singing with him to Charlie's songs. I miss my dad.

[mikeh1159]

Awesome stuff - nuff said. Charley rocks!

[billypeak1]

This man is one of the most influential musicians of any time. The obvious racial barriers that exhisted in the 60's when he became a household name were never even considered by those who love music if any kind. One of the real class acts who ever lived , we will always love Charlie Pride. HE-DA-MAN!

[mikeluvsagnes]

My dad saw him in TX in da 70s,he came on stage,and the good ol boys were saying"hes black!",he actually used to be a pro baseball player in the black league,I think..

[shelkamark]

I almost 42 and my uncle played this cassette until he wore it out...I was nine and listened to it on our annual Christmas trek across Australia...I'm still listning and lovin' it...

[WilliamHBonney55]

I remember you as a child. Listening to you on a record on a farm in Ontario Canada.I am 42 years old now.

[WilliamHBonney55]

Canada love you. I heard your songs when I lived on my dad;s farm back in Ontario Canada when I was a child. We love you here in Canada.

[bo31red38]

God bless his family and myy dad would quake in his grave. I MISS MY DAD! Charley, you were so much of ours!

[bo31red38]

He's my hero. I've loved him from 1971 OK?

[Classiccountry09]

Now thats music!

[DaveRification]

Great songs by Charlie Pride. He is one of my Father's favorite singers & as I am the youngest of his 3 boys, I listended to him a lot & loved his singing as well :-)

[landrykkb]

This is a fantastic song by a fantastic artist who still carries the traditional torch of country music.Taylor Swift,Carrie Underwood,Rascal Flatts,& Tim McGraw are just pretenders to the throne.

[ShellTrek]

Classic! Luv the Charlie!

[Grifiki]

Charlie at his best. I had so many of his on my Four Track 1977. I loved my old AMC Pacer.

[TonyForsyth]

I believe you mean your eight track, but who's counting? I had a 1976 Pacer.

[belairlover93]

@Grifiki you mean 8 track :P

[cynnie80]

I remember this song when I was a child, mainly my Dad, RIP Dad I love you and miss you.

[58everton]

@cynnie80 me to my dads favourite song......i miss you dad

[tiranchula]

@cynnie80 I know How you feel... These songs keep them near to us! Bless Ya!

[SpeedyTase]

@cynnie80 Truly! My dad liked this song and I heard it through childhood, too! When I got older and listened to the lyrics closely, it wasn't about snakes at all!!!! LOL RIP my dad, too. A true music lover.

[carlyledj]

@SpeedyTase LOL My dad LOVED this song and as you did I listened to the lyrics closely and realized it wasn't about the snakes either :-) <3 Love You Daddy RIP!!!

[jpeanrkode]

Charley's best right here! I love it!

[clarebannerman]

Saw Charley in concert back in 1970. Great artist.

[99iggy]

This was my favorite Charley Pride song when i was young. When i still here it reminds me of staying with my Grandma and Grandpa's Go times

[dodblondie]

this is good stuff and pitty not more of it about

[Grifiki]

This one belonged to him. I had on an old Four-track. I played in pacer every day. "Pacer AMC".

[randyonwuakor]

RIP to my dad he love country music so much that i have to carry on the tradition

nice one good charlie.

[CarolinaOcelot]

He was a baseball player for the Negro Leagues back in the 50s. That blew my mind when I heard it. He is talented as hell.

[dannymackinnon]

A true country legend.

[joan106]

is there any truth to this

i dont think so.

[alhendry1]

SUPERB 10/10

[pinkpiggy85]

I remember sitting in the car with my dad and him adn I singing this together while it was blairing in the cassette player the good times... man do I feel old lol..Im only23

[CdnGal74]

I've listened to Charley all of my life...You could put any one of his records on and not have to jump up to skip over any one of them...He's a fantastic performer!!...I'm going to see again in July...Can't wait!!

[jblcva]

True life is colorblind.

[mrmoakanzamzam]

That's so true... color doesn't matter

[karirae29]

He does not get the credit he should have he has a great voice

[bo31red38]

Charley, you are what life is about...

[918211507]

I always thought this was one of Charley's best, but I've never seen it on any of his greatest hits.

[Bollos3]

this Guy is the man... he has got sum catchy as tunes, got all the oldies cranking it out loud all nite.

[werewolfgirl132]

YE-HAW great country right here. this guy kicks ass

[heafy016]

I didn't know Charly Pride was African American??? Ever Awesome he's sound so Country...I couldn't even tell he was black...

[yxz098]

I remember my mother telling me she didn't know he was African American. You can't tell from his singing. My mother had a record when I was a kid that she would play sometimes. He is a great singer....

[Michael5191949]

He is All American

[boogertoots]

True talent such as Charley has been pushed away from so-called "Country radio".

Country is not Country any longer.

♫ Derek J. Holak ♫

[pigpenthecat]

Yep, Ijust heard this Taylor Swift song, it was a remake of one of Dolly Partons. She could not even hit the notes and was so out of tune, I could not click off the site fast enought....I am glad we can at least still go to concerts that Charlie Pride performs at and other who have talent. Support them and the others will go away...no money...means they go broke. and stop ruining country music.

[BlakePlaya]

I do LOVE rap music but I was BORN on country.. Johnny Cash, Charley Pride.. My dad ALWAYS use to play Charley.. and to this day I still listen to him. charley is down in HISTORY!

[bo31red38]

That's Charlie

He can sing

WE will miss him

That is true American!

I know, cause I was raised on Him

Where are you now?

God, I love Charley

[cymolia]

why the fuck would we miss him ? he's not dead.

[freedomfighter1989]

im seeing him in july!

[tradergirljam]

i absolutely love charley pride...................OMG GIVE ME MORE CHARLEY

[unclecracker555]

as a child of the 70`s charlie was one of my faverates

[wullie316]

i love this guys music im 36 and i have good memories of my grandad listening to these tunes and when i hear them i feel good and remember the good times we spent together

[eileen1924]

I love anything Charley Pride sings thank you for posting his music.

And he,s not hard to look at either even today.

[918211507]

Charley has a great voice.

[drouilda]

oh, The Toasted Western.... classic.

[hillbillyreaper]

Doesnt get much better

[loreanashli]

I like this, this would be a great song to the beginning of a movie. I could see how the camera outside of a big house and a sunset in the background at the same time you hear a voice narrating than the camera goes into the house you see a family laughing and begins the story.

[rebelrider124]

mel tillis is my step dads uncle robert tillis

[angielovesfun]

Alan you have great music on here. I never thought I would hear these songs again. Have you ever heard Charley sing Green Green Grass of Home that is my favorite sung by him.

Thanks for the memories

[rushfiend]

You either step or stomp on the snakes, because, after all, they are snakes!!!

[liaaam1]

it can not get any better than this

[twinklebug2]

omg this is one of my dads favorite songs...... he loves it

[baldy194859]

you just don,t hear music like this today.

[ELVISFREE1977]

why can't people sing a country song like Charlie? because today nobody can!!!

[JoshezDodge]

Charley Pride rocks!

[kreepta]

dudes n dudesses what's happening to the unifying power of music...being overwhelmed by ingrained hatred & racism..shame.. as this is a real good song sang by a real talented singer...who cares if he is orange, blue or redneck..just enjoy the song
