I | spent the night in Utah, in a cave up in the hills. <Chorus> | | I ran down to the levee, but the devil caught me there . He | took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air. <Chorus> | % |% % | Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, | % | First one's named sweet Anne Marie, and | % | she's my hearts delight. | % |% % | 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 says she's got my child, but | | it don't look like me. <Chorus> (Instrumental
