Friend of the Devil - dePresno

i lit out from reno

i was trailed by twenty hounds

didn’t get to sleep that night

till the morning came around

i ran into the devil babe he loaned me twenty bills

i spent that night in Utah

in a cave up in the hills

i set out running but i take my time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i just might get some sleep tonight

i ran down to the levee

but the devil caught me there

he took my twenty dollar bill

and he vanished in the air

got a wife in chino, babe

and wanting cherokee

first one says she’s got my child

but it don’t look like me

i said i running but i take mye time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i might just get some sleep tonight

i set out running but i take my time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i just might get some sleep

i set out running but i take my time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i just might get som sleep tonight

got two reasons why i cry

away each lonely night

first one’s named sweet anne marie

and she’s my heart’s delight

second one is prison, babe

the sheriff’s on my trail

and if he catches up with me

i’ll spend my life in jail

i set out running but i take my time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i just might get some sleep

i said i running but i take my time

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

if i get home before daylight

i just might get some sleep tonight
