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 walking side-by-side I'm going to beat my woman Until I get satisfied She said "you don't see why That I will dog her 'round" Now baby you know you ain't doin' me right, now She say "you don't see why, hoo That I would dog her 'round" It must-a been 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, hoo Down by the highway side So my old evil spirit Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
