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