Friend of the Devil

Lyrics

I lit out from Reno
 I was trailed by twenty hounds
 Didn't get to sleep that night
 Till the morning came around
 Set out runnin' but I take my time
 A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
 If I get home before daylight
 I just might get some sleep tonight
 
 Ran into the Devil, babe
 He loaned me twenty bills
 I spent the night in Utah
 In a cave up in the hills
 Set out runnin' but I take my time
 A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
 If I get home before daylight
 I just might get some sleep tonight
 I ran down to the levee
 But the Devil caught me there
 He took my twenty dollar bill
 And he vanished in the air
 Set out runnin' but I take my time
 A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
 If I get home before daylight
 I just might get some sleep tonight
 
 Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
 The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight
 The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
 And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
 
 Got a wife in Chino, babe
 And one in Cherokee
 First one says she's got my child
 But it don't look like me
 Set out runnin' but I take my time
 A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
 If I get home before daylight
 I just might get some sleep tonight
