I laid up from Reno I was trailed by 20 hounds
G C D7
Didn?t get to sleep last night till the morning came around
D7
Set out running but I?ll take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D7 Am D7
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
G C D7
Well, I ran into the levee but devil caught me there
G C D7
Took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air

D7 Am D7
I got two reasons why I cry each lonely night
Am
First one?s named sweet Anne Marie, she?s my heart?s delight

Second one is person with the sheriff on my trail

And if he catches me I?ll spend my life in jail

First one says she got my child but it don?t look like me
