Friend Of The Devil

I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
I didn't get to sleep that night
Till the morning came aroundSet 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 tonightRan into the devil
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hillsSet 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 tonightYeah well I ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And vanished in the airSet 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 tonightGot two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie
And she's my hearts delightThe second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jailGot a wife in Chino, baby
And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
But it don't look like meSet 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 tonightCome on CharleyGot two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie
And she's my hearts delightThe second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jailI say I got a wife in Chino, baby
And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
But it don't look like meSet 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
