Jerry Garcia - Friend of the Devil lyrics
rate meI lit out from Reno<br />
I was trailed by twenty hounds<br />
Didn't get to sleep last night<br />
Till the morning came around<br />
<br />
And I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep, tonight<br />
<br />
I ran into the devil<br />
And he loaned me twenty bills<br />
I spent the night in Utah<br />
In a cave up in the hills<br />
<br />
And I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep, tonight<br />
<br />
I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night<br />
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight<br />
Second one is prison baby, the sheriff's on my trail<br />
And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail<br />
<br />
Got a wife in Chino babe<br />
And one in Cherokee<br />
First one says she's got my child<br />
But it don't look like me<br />
<br />
I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep, tonight<br />
<br />
I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night<br />
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight<br />
Second one is prison baby, the sheriff's on my trail<br />
And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail<br />
<br />
I ran down to the levee<br />
But the devil caught me there<br />
He took my twenty dollar bill<br />
And vanished in the air<br />
<br />
I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep, tonight<br />
<br />
Yeah, I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep, tonight<br /><br />
