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  
  
Intro and fade
