Friend Of The Devilgrateful Dead Cover lyrics

I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn`t get to sleep last night `till the morning came around

Set out runnin` but I 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

Ran into the Devil, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah, in a cave up in the hills

Set out runnin` but I 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 down to the levee, but the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill, and he vanished in the air

Set out runnin` but I 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

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one`s named Sweet Anne Marie, and she`s my hearts delight
The second one is prison, baby, the Sherrif`s on my trail
And if he catches up to me, I`ll spend my life in jail

I got a wife in Chino, baby, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she`s got my child, but it don`t look like me

Set out runnin` but I 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

I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one`s named Sweet Anne Marie, and she`s my hearts delight
The second one is prison, baby, the Sherrif`s on my trail
And if he catches up to me, I`ll spend my life in jail

I say I got a wife in Chino, baby, I got one in Cherokee
And the first one says she`s got my child, but it does not look like me

Set out runnin` but I 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
