Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A7
  Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
           D/F#
Early this morning ooh
When you knocked upon my door
A7      E7
  And I said, "Hello Satan"
D/F#                           A7 E7
    "I believe it's time to go"

[Verse 2]
A7
  Me and the Devil
Was walkin' side by side
           D7
Me and the Devil, ooh
Was walkin' side by side
A7        E7
  And I'm going to beat my woman
D/F#                     A7
    Until I get satisfied

[Verse 3]
E7    A7
  She said you don't see why
That I would dog her 'round
    D/F#
She say, "You don't see why", ooh
                           A7
That I would dog her 'round
   E7
It must be that old evil spirit
D/F#                          A7 E7
    So deep down in the ground

[Verse 4]
A7
  You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
    D/F#
You may bury my body, ooh
Down by the highway side
A7      E7
  So my old evil spirit
D/F#
    Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
A7 E7 A7
