|
I lit out from Reno |
|
I was trailed by twenty hounds |
|
I 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 |
|
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 |
|
Yeah well 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 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 hearts delight |
|
The second one is prison, baby |
|
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, 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 |
|
Come on Charley |
|
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, baby |
|
The sheriff's on my trail |
|
And if he catches up with me |
|
I'll spend my life in jail |
|
I say 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 |
