I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds.
ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills.
ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there.
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee.

Fist one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

Set out runnin' but I take my time,

If I get home before day light,

Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail,
