Early this morning, he knocked on my door
I said, early this morning, he knocked on my door
I said, "Hello Satan, well I believe, it's time to go"

Me and the Devil are walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil are walkin' side by side
Well, I'm goin' to beat my man until I get satisfied

Well, he says, I don't do him right
That I dog him around
Well, it must be this old evil spirit
So deep down within the ground

Well, you may bury my body down by the highway side
Oh, babe I don't care what you do with my body
You may bury my body down by the highway side
So, my old evil spirit can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
