Jerry Garcia - Friend of the Devil lyrics

rate me

I 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 />
