[Verse 1]
Early this mornin'
When you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', whoo
When you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan
I believe it's time to go"

[Verse 2]
Me and the Devil
Was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, whoo
Was walkin' side by side
I'm going to beat my woman
Until I get satisfied

[Verse 3]
She said you don't see why
That I would dog her 'round
Now baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, don'tcha?
She say you don't see why, whoo
That I would dog her 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground

[Verse 4]
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone
You may bury my body, whoo
Down by the highway side
So my old, evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
