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