Early this mornin'

when you knocked upon my door

Early this mornin', ooh

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

Now baby you know, now baby you know

Now baby you know, now baby you know

I'm gonna beat my woman till i get statisfied

Now baby you know, now baby you know

She say you don't see why

that she will dog me 'round

She say you don't see why,

that she will 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

So my old evil spirit

can I get a Greyhound bus

And ride.
