Early this morninī, when you knocked upon my door
Early this morninī, ooh, when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "hello, satan, I believe itīs time to go"
Me and the devil, was walkinī side by side
Me and the devil, ooh, was walkinī side by side
Iīm goinī to beat my woman, until I get satisfied
She say you donīt see why, that I will dog her īround
[Spoken:] Now, baby, you know you ainīt doinī me right, now
She say you donīt see why, ooh, that I will dog her īround
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 donīt care where you bury my body when Iīm 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
