Me and the devil blues

Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,
Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,
And I said, "Hello, Satan,
I believe it's time to go."

Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.
I'm gonna beat my woman
Until I get satisfied.

She said she don't see why,
That I will dog her 'round.
(Now baby, you know you ain't doing me right.)
She said she don't see why, That I will dog her 'round.
Well, it must be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground.

You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone.)
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
Oh, my old evil spirit
Can take a Greyhound bus and ride.
