Intro: G C G C
G C
I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds
G C
Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around
Chorus:
D
I set out running but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D
If I get home before daylight
Am C D
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
Chorus
Went down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air
Chorus
D
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
C
The first ones named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight
D
The second one is prison baby, the sheriffs on my trail
Am C D
And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in Chino babe, and one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
Chorus
