Lyrics

[01:08.79] I lit out from Reno
[01:10.35] I was trailed by twenty Hounds
[01:13.28] Didn't get to sleep last night
[01:15.35] Till the morning came around
[01:18.15] Set out runnin' but I take my time
[01:20.15] A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
[01:22.61] If I get home before daylight
[01:24.78] I just might get some sleep tonight
[01:31.15] Ran into the Devil
[01:33.75] Babe, he loaned me twenty bills
[01:36.52] I spent the night in Utah
[01:38.49] In a cave up in the hills
[01:41.23] Set out runnin' but I take my time
[01:43.46] A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
[01:45.87] If I get home before daylight
[01:48.10] I just might get some sleep tonight
[01:54.83] I ran down to the levee
[01:56.88] But the Devil caught me there
[01:59.60] He took my twenty dollar bill
[02:01.99] And vanished in the air
[02:03.34] Set out runnin' but I take my time
[02:06.70] A friend of the Devil before daylight
[02:08.99] If I get home before daylight
[02:10.34] I just might get some sleep tonight
[02:26.42] Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
[02:29.68] The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
[02:32.41] and she's my hearts delight
[02:35.52] The second one is prison,babe,
[02:38.00] the Sheriff's on my trail
[02:40.25] And if he catches up with me,
[02:42.60] I'll spend my life in jail
[02:48.20] Got a wife in Chino
[02:49.08] Babe, and one in Cherokee
[02:53.16] The first one says she's got my child
[02:54.28] But it don't look like me
[02:56.54] Set out runnin' but I take my time
[02:59.97] A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
[03:02.37] If I get home before daylight
[03:03.70] I just might get some sleep tonight
[03:32.50] Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
[03:37.16] The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
[03:40.50] and she's my hearts delight
[03:41.78] The second one is prison,babe,
[03:43.00] the Sheriff's on my trail
[03:45.45] And if he catches up with me,
[03:48.40] I'll spend my life in jail
[03:53.03] Got a wife in Chino
[03:54.44] Babe, and one in Cherokee
[03:59.30] The first one says she's got my child
[04:00.39] But it don't look like me.
[04:02.62] Set out runnin' but I take my time
[04:04.17] A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
[04:06.55] If I get home before daylight
[04:09.75] I just might get some sleep tonight.
