Original lyrics

EN

I laid up from Reno I was trailed by 20 hounds Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around Chorus: Set out running but I'll 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 devil caught me there Took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air Chorus Instrumental I got two reasons why I cry each lonely night 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 I?ve got a wife in Chino Bay and one in Cherokee First one says she got my child but it don?t look like me Chorus
