Lyrics for Me and the Devil Blues

Early this morning When you knocked upon my door Early this morning 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 going to beat my woman Until I get satisfied She said you don't see why That I would dog her 'round Now baby, you know you ain't doin' me right don't ya? She say, "You don't see why", ooh That I would dog her '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, ooh Down by the highway side So my old evil spirit Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
