1
I lit out from Reno
2
I was trailed by twenty hounds
3
Didn't get to sleep that night
4
Till the morning came around
5
chorus:
6
I set out running but I take my time
7
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
8
If I get home before daylight
9
I just might get some sleep tonight
10
I ran into the Devil, babe
11
He loaned me twenty bills
12
I spent that night in Utah
13
In a cave up in the hills
14
I ran down to the levee
15
But the Devil caught me there
16
He took my twenty-dollar bill
17
And he vanished in the air
18
Got two reasons why I cry
19
away each lonely night
20
First one's named sweet Ann Marie
21
and she's my heart's delight
22
Second one is prison, baby
23
the sheriff's on my trail
24
And if he catches up with me
25
I'll spend my life in jail
26
Got a wife in Cheno, babe
27
And one in Cherokee
28
First one says she's got my child
29
But it don't look like me
30
You can borrow from the Devil
31
You can borrow from a friend
32
But the Devil will give you twenty
33
When your friend only got ten
