Lyrics
Friend Of The Devil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I laid up from Reno I was trailed by 20 hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around
Chorus:
Set out running but I'll 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
Well, I ran into the levee but devil caught me there
Took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air
Chorus
Instrumental
I got two reasons why I cry each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, she's my heart's delight
Second one is person with the sheriff on my trail
And if he catches me I'll spend my life in jail
I?ve got a wife in Chino Bay and one in Cherokee
First one says she got my child but it don?t look like me
Chorus
