Friend Of The Devil |
| I split out of Reno |
| I was trailed by twenty hounds |
| Didn’t get to sleep last night |
| 'Till the morning came around |
| Still out front, gonna 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 into air |
| Still out front, gonna 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 |
| Got two reasons |
| Why I cry away each lonely night |
| The first one’s named sweet Emily |
| And she’s my hearts delight |
| The 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 spent the night in Utah |
| In a cave up in the hills |
| Trying to find the devil |
| But I doubt I ever will |
| Still out front, gonna 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 |
| Got two reasons |
| Why I cry away each lonely night |
| The first one’s named sweet Emily |
| And she’s my hearts delight |
| The 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 |
| Got a wife in Chino, babe |
| And and one’s in Cherokee |
| The first one says she’s got my child |
| But it don’t look like me |
| Still out front, gonna 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 |
