Friends of the Devil Songtext
von Ka'au Crater Boys

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 runnin' 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

Well I ran into the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air

Set out runnin′ 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


Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The 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, I′ll spend my life in jail

I've 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 runnin′ 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've got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The 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, 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


I set out runnin′ 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

Set out runnin' 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
