I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Set out runnin' but I take my time
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
Got a wife in Chino, babe
Set out runnin' but I take my time |

You should definitely acquire their classic recording "American Beauty" c 1970 -- there is a lot more fine material on it. Also the followup "Workingman's Dead"--these are the two studio albums the Dean recorded in a country-rock motif. Get em, you'll like em Willie-O |
23 Feb 00 - 10:17 AM (#183332) Subject: RE: Friend of devil lyrics From: Easy Rider YES! These are two of the best Grateful Dead albums ever. They contain other treasures too, such as "Uncle John's Band" (my favorite), "Ripple", "Trucking" (their big hit), "Casey Jones" ("Driving that train, high on cocaine...") and "Sugar Magnolia". "Live Dead", a double album that came out just before these two, is probably their best live album. It has a 23 minute version of "Dark Star" that is exquisite and a song, "The Eleven" that is played in 11/16 timing (1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2). |

I think those are the correct words. I can check tonight to make sure. jeffp |
