I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds.
Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around.
chorus
Set out runnin' but I take my time a friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
If I get home before day light, I just might get some sleep to night.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air.
bridge
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night.
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight.
Second one is prison, baby, 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 one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.
You can borrow from the Devil. You can borrow from a friend.
But the Devil'll give you twenty, when your friend has only ten.
