The Grateful Dead - Friend of the Devil lyrics

[The Grateful Dead - Friend of the Devil lyrics]

I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
'til 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
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

Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight

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
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 heart's delight
The second one is prison, babe
And the sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino, babe
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
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 heart's delight
The second one is prison, babe
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino, babe
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
Just might get some sleep tonight
