Friend Of The Devil
Lit out for Reno and a babe... chased by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that 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
I run into the devil, babe, an' he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
Set out runnin but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
I went down to the crossroads and the devil met me there
Took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air
Set out runnin but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
They're two reasons that I lay awake each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, she's my hearts delight
Second one is prison, babe, sheriffs on my trail
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
I Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
First one says she got my child, but it dont look like me
Set out runnin but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
They're two reasons that I lay awake each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, an' she's my heart's delight
Th' second one is prison, babe, there's a sheriff 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
First one says she got my child, but it don't look like me
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
