  • Early this morning
    When you knocked upon my door
    Early this morning, 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
    Me and the Devil, ooh
    Was walking side-by-side
    I'm going to beat my woman
    Until I get satisfied

    She said "you don't see why
    That I will dog her 'round"
    Now baby you know you ain't doin' me right, now
    She say "you don't see why, hoo
    That I would dog her 'round"
    It must-a been that old evil spirit
    So deep down in the ground
    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, hoo
    Down by the highway side
    So my old evil spirit
    Can get a Greyhound bus and ride Writer/s: ROBERT JOHNSON
