Friend Of The Devil

I lit it out from Reno

I was trailed by 20 hounds

Didn't get to sleep that night

'Til the morning came around

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight

Ran into the devil

And he loaned me 20 bills

Spent the night in Utah

In a cave up in the hills

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight

Ran into the levee

But the devil caught me there

Took my 20 dollar bill

And vanished in the air

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

First one's named sweet Anne Marie, she's my heart's delight

Second one is prison, babe, sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me, you know I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino, baby

One in Cherokee

First one say she got my child

But it don't look like me

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

First one's named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight

Second one is prison, babe, sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me, you know I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino, baby

And one in Cherokee

First one say she got my child

But it don't look like me

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight
