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 vanished in the air |
|
Set out runnin' but I take my time |
|
A friend of the Devil 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 hearts 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 |
