Didn't get to sleep that night 'til the morning came around
And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
Got a wife in Chino, babe
Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
I ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
And one in Cherokee
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the Devil, babe
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
I set out runnin' but I take my time
Set out runnin' but I take my time
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air
He loaned me twenty bills
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Set out runnin' but I take my time
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
Got a wife in Chino, babe
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
I spent the night in Utah, in a cave up in the hills
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight
