Friend Of The Devil Lyrics

by Cosmo Jarvis

(Verse)
I went out from Reno
I was trailed by 20 hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night
'Til the morning came around

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e100094-cosmo_jarvis~friend_of_the_devil_lyrics.html ]
(Chorus)
Set out running gonna 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

(Verse)
Ran into the devil baby
Loaned me 20 bills
I spend the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills

(Chorus)
Set out running gonna 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

(Verse)
I ran down to the livid
But the devil caught be there
Took my 20 dollar bill
And he vanished in the air

(Chorus)
Set out running gonna 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

(Bridge)
Got 2 reasons why I cried away slow at night
The first one name is sweet aunt Marie
And she's my heart to live
The second one is prison babe
She sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail

(Verse)
Got a wife in Chino baby
And one in Cherokee
First one says she got my child
But it don't look like me

(Chorus)
Set out running gonna 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
