Early this mornin' You knocked upon my door Early this mornin' Ooh, you knocked upon my door And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go" Me and the Devil, were walkin' side by side Me and the Devil, were walkin' side by side And I'm goin' to beat my woman Until I get satisfied She say you don't see why That she will dog me 'round Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right, don't ya She say you don't see why Ooh, that she will dog me 'round It must've be that old evil spirit So deep down in the ground You may bury my body Down by the highway side {Babe, 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 catch a Greyhound bus and ride
