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
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the Devil, babe
He loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I 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
And 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
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night
Till the morning came around
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the Devil, babe
He loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil
Is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I 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
And 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
I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I just might get some sleep tonight
