_______________________________

I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Til the morning came around

Refrain:
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
He loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills

Refrain

Ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took that twenty dollar bill
And vanished in the air!

Refrain

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Jeremy
And he'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 man in Chino, babe
And one in Cherokee
But if you know a thing 'bout me
I just got to be free

Refrain
