The Grateful Dead – Friend of the Devil Lyrics
Artist: The Grateful Dead
Song: Friend of the Devil
– “Friend of the Devil”
I set out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
I didn’t get to sleep that night ’til the morning came around
I set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
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
Just might get some sleep tonight
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air
I set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
The first one’s named sweet Anne Marie, and she’s my heart’s delight
The 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 Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one say she 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
Just might get some sleep tonight
The first one’s named sweet Anne Marie, and she’s my heart’s 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
The first one say she 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
Just might get some sleep tonight
Let’s give it a listen
