I
Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning come around
Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I ran into the devil and he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty bills and he loaned me twenty bills

He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air
Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named Sweet Anne-Marie
And she's my heartache
The second one is prison babe
And 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, baby
And one in Cherokee
First one says she got my child
But it don't look like me
Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named Sweet Anne-Marie
And she's my heartache
The second one is prison babe
And 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, baby
And one in Cherokee
First one says she got my child
But it don't look like me
Set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got a wife in Chino, baby
