Friend Of The Devil

Lyrics:

• 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.


• [The devil will give you twenty
• When a friend's got only ten] *


• 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 ones named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.
• The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs 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.
