Friend of the Devil

A touching song about the wages of sin.....Friend of the Devil.... I set out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
I didn't get no sleep that night
until the mornin came around... CHORUS
I started out runnin now I'm takin 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 into the devil and he loaned me twenty bills,
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

Went down to the levee but the devil he found me there,
He took my twenty dollar bill and then he vanished in thin air

I got Two reasons why I cry each lonely night,
the first one is named sweet Anne-Marie
She's my hearts' delight
The second one is prison babe
The sherriff's on my trail
an' if he catches up with me
He'll send me back to jail...

I got a wife in Chino, an one in Cherokee,
The first one says shes' got my child,
but he don't look like me.....
