Early this mornin'
You knocked upon my door
Early this mornin'
Ooh, you knocked upon my door

And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go"
Me and the Devil, were walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, were walkin' side by side

And I'm goin' to beat my woman
Until I get satisfied
She say you don't see why
That she will dog me 'round
Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right, don't ya

She say you don't see why
Ooh, that she will dog me 'round
It must've be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side

{Babe, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone}

You may bury my body
Ooh, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
