Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
Early this morning, oo
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, woo
Was walking side by side
And I'm going to beat my woman
'Til I get satisfied

She said you don't see why
That she would dog me 'round
Now baby you know you ain't doin' me right don'tcha
She say you don't see why, whoo
That she would dog me '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
You may bury my body, woo
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
