Friend of the Devil

I lit out from Reno Was trailed by twenty hounds I 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 Well, I 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 heart's delight The second one is prison, baby The sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up to me I'll spend my life in jail Yeah, 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 tonight Go, Charlie Got two reasons why I cry Away each lonely night The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie And she's my heart's delight The second one is prison, baby The sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up to me I'll spend my life in jail Yeah, I said I got a wife in Chino, baby I got one in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child But it does not 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 I just might get some sleep tonight
