Friend of the Devil (Live in Englishtown, NJ, September 3, 1977)

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 running but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight just might get some sleep tonight

Ran into the devil babe he loaned me twenty bills

I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

Set out running but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

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 vanished in the air

Set out running but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight just might get some sleep tonight

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

First one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight

The second one is prison babe the sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me you know I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino babe one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child it don't look like me

Set out running but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight just might get some sleep tonight

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

First one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight

The second one is prison babe the sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me you know I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino babe and one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child but it don't look like me

Set out running 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
