Early this mornin' when you knocked upon my door Early this mornin', ooh 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, ooh was walkin' side by side And I'm goin' to beat my woman until I get satisfied She say you don't see why that you will dog me 'round spoken: Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right, don'cha She say you don't see why, ooh that you will 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 spoken: Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone You may bury my body, ooh down by the highway side So my old evil spirit can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
