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, 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
Well, 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, baby, the Sherrif's on my trail
And if he catches up to me, I'll spend my life in jail
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 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
I 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, baby, the Sherrif's on my trail
And if he catches up to me, I'll spend my life in jail
I say I got a wife in Chino, baby, I got one in Cherokee
And the first one says she's got my child, but it does not 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
