(Garcia/Hunter/Dawson)
2
I lit out from Reno,
3
I was trailed by twenty hounds
4
Didn't get to sleep that night
5
'Till the morning came around.
6
Set out runnin' 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
Ran into the devil, babe,
11
He loaned me twenty bills
12
I spent the night in Utah
13
In a cave up in the hills.
14
Set out runnin' but I take my time,
15
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
16
If I get home before daylight,
17
I just might get some sleep tonight.
18
I ran down to the levee
19
But the devil caught me there
20
He took my twenty dollar bill
21
And vanished in the air.
22
Set out runnin' but I take my time
23
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
24
If I get home before daylight,
25
I just might get some sleep tonight.
26
Got two reasons why I cry
27
Away each lonely night,
28
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
29
And she's my hearts delight.
30
The second one is prison, baby,
31
The sheriff's on my trail,
32
And if he catches up with me,
33
I'll spend my life in jail.
34
Got a wife in Chino, babe,
35
And one in Cherokee
36
The first one says she's got my child,
37
But it don't look like me.
38
Set out runnin' but I take my time,
39
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
40
If I get home before daylight,
41
I just might get some sleep tonight.
