Friend of the Devil Lyrics
I lit out from Reno; I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night 'til 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, 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 it 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, babe; 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
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, babe; 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, I just might get some sleep tonight.
