| I lit | out from | Reno | I was | trailed by | twenty | hounds. |
| G | G/F# | G/E | G/D | C | C/B | C/A | C/G | |
| Didn't | get to | sleep that | night 'til the | morning | came a | round. |
| D | Am | |
| Set out running but I take my time - | A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. |
| D | Am | D | |
| If I get home before day light - | I just might get some sleep to | night. |
| Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills. |
| Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills. |
| Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. |
| If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. |
| Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there; |
| Took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air. |
| Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. |
| If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. |

| Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night: |
| C | |
| The | first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight! |
| D | |
| Second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail! |
| Am | C | D | |
| 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. |
| Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. |
| If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. |
