Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
Early this morning
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
Was walking side by side.

I'm gonna see my man
'Til I get satisfied
I don't see why
That he would dog me 'round
I don't see why
People dog me 'round
It must 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
Down by the highway side.

So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride.
