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
