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
