Me And The Devil Blues

Johnson Robert

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 
I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied 

She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round 
[Spoken:] Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, 
now 
She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will 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 

[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 get a Greyhound bus and ride
