Friend Of The Devil

1. I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds

Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around

R: Set out runnin' but I take my time

Am

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before day light

I just might get some sleep tonight

2. Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills

I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

R: Set out runnin'...

3. Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there

took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air

R: Set out runnin'...

*: 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

Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail

and if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail

4. Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me

R: Set out runnin'...
