Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
[Verse 2]
Early this morning, when
When you knocked upon my door
And I say, "Hello Satan"
I believe it's time to go
[Verse 3]
Me and the devil
Walking side by side
[Verse 4]
Me and the devil
Walking side by side
And I'm going to see my woman
Till I get satisfied
See, see, you don't see why
People dog me around
Say, don't see why
People dogging me around
[Verse 5]
Must be that old evil spirit
That spirit drop me down
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
[Verse 6]
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can Greyhound bus that ride
