Early this morning When you knocked upon my door Early this morning When you knocked upon my door And I said hello, Satan I believe it's time to go. Me and the Devil Was walkin' side by side. Me and the Devil, Was walking side by side And I'm going to beat my woman 'Til I get satisfied. She said you don't see why That she would dog me 'round. Now baby you know you ain't doin' me right don't cha She say you don't see why, That she would dog me 'round It must-a be that old evil spirit So deep down in the ground You may bury my body Down by the highway side Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone You may bury my body, Down by the highway side So my old evil spirit Can get a Greyhound bus and ride.
