Rate Friend Of The Devil
Artist : Ramblin` Jack Elliot Song : Friend Of The Devil
I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty
hounds Didn't get to sleep that night Till
the morning came around
chorus: I 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 I ran into the Devil, babe He
loaned me twenty bills I spent that night in
Utah In a cave up in the hills
I
ran down to the levee But the Devil caught me
there He took my twenty-dollar bill And he
vanished in the air
Got two reasons why I
cry away each lonely night First one's
named sweet Ann Marie and she's my heart's
delight Second one is prison, baby the
sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up
with me I'll spend my life in jail
Got
a wife in Cheno, babe And one in
Cherokee First one says she's got my
child But it don't look like me
You can
borrow from the Devil You can borrow from a
friend But the Devil will give you
twenty When your friend only got ten
