Friend of the Devil

[00:08.17] I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds

[00:12.95] Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around.

[00:18.26] Set out runnin' but I take my time

[00:21.19] A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

[00:24.11] If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

[00:34.47] Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills

[00:38.72] I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.

[00:43.23] Set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,

[00:48.01] If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

[02:32.72] Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,

[02:34.58] The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.

[02:36.17] The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,

[02:40.69] And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
