Early this morning When you knocked upon my door Early this morning 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 Was walking side by side.
I'm gonna see my man 'Til I get satisfied I don't see why That he would dog me 'round I don't see why People dog me 'round It must be that old evil spirit So deep down in the ground.
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 get a Greyhound bus and ride So my old evil spirit Can get a Greyhound bus and ride.
