The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie
I say I got a wife in Chino, baby
But the devil caught me there
If I get home before daylight
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Yeah well I ran down to the levee
I'll spend my life in jail
I just might get some sleep tonight
And if he catches up with me
He loaned me twenty bills
Got a wife in Chino, baby
I just might get some sleep tonight
And vanished in the air
He took my twenty dollar bill

Set out runnin' but I take my time
Set out runnin' but I take my time
The second one is prison, baby
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
In a cave up in the hills
I'll spend my life in jail
If I get home before daylight
And she's my hearts delight
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
And if he catches up with me
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Away each lonely night
But it don't look like me
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
And one in Cherokee
Got two reasons why I cry
Come on Charley
I just might get some sleep tonight
And one in Cherokee
I spent the night in Utah
The first one says she's got my child
And she's my hearts delight
I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Away each lonely night
The second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
The first one says she's got my child
If I get home before daylight
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
Till the morning came around
Got two reasons why I cry
Ran into the devil

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
But it don't look like me
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
The sheriff's on my trail
Set out runnin' but I take my time
I didn't get to sleep that night
