Simple Tin Whistle Tabs

I lit out from Re-no,

I was trailed by twen-ty hounds

Did-n't get to sleep last night

'till the morn-ing came a-round.

Set out run-nin' but I take my time

A friend of the dev-il is a friend of mine

If I get home be-fore day-light,

I just might get some sleep to-night.

Ran into the devil, babe,
he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah
in a cave up in the hills.

Set out runnin' 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 down to the levee
but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
and vanished in the air.

Set out runnin' 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.

Got two rea-sons why I cry

a-way each lone-ly night,

The first one's named Sweet Anne Ma-rie,

and she's my hearts de-light.

Sec-ond one is pris-on, ba-by,

the sher-iff's on my trail,

And if he catch-es up with me,

I'll spend my life in jail.

Got a wife in Chi-no, babe,

and one in Cher-o-kee

First one says she's got my child,

but it don't look like me.

Set out run-nin' but I take my time,

A friend of the dev-il is a friend of mine,

If I get home be-fore day-light,

I just might get some sleep to-night.

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
and she's my hearts 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 says she's 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,
I just might get some sleep tonight.
