Friend of the Devil

I lit out from Reno
 I was trailed by twenty hounds
 Didn't get to sleep last 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 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
 The 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
