Lyrics for Me and the Devil

Early this morning When you knocked upon my door Early this morning When you knocked upon my door And I say: "Hello Satan" I believe, it's time to go Me and the Devil Walking side by side Me and the Devil Walking side by side And I'm gonna see my woman 'Til I get satisfied See, you don't see why Like you're a dog me 'round Say, I don't see why People dogging me around It must be that old evil spirit so down in your ground Me and the Devil Walking side by side Me and the Devil Walking side by side And I'm gonna see my woman 'Til I get satisfied You may bury my body Down by the highway side You may bury my body Down by the highway side So my old evil spirit Can greyhound bus that ride
