Me And The Devil Blues Lyrics

(Robert Johnson)



Early this morning,

You knocked upon my
door,

Early this morning,

You knocked upon my door,

And I
said, "Hello, Satan,

I believe it's time to go."



Me and the
devil

Were walking side by side.

Me and the devil

Were
walking side by side.

I'm gonna beat my woman

Until I get
satisfied.



She said she don't see why,

That I will dog her
'round.

(Now baby, you know you ain't doing me right.)

She said she
don't see why, That I will dog her 'round.

Well, it must be that old evil
spirit

So deep down in the ground.



You may bury my body

Down by the highway side.

(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm
dead and gone.)

You may bury my body

Down by the highway side.

Oh, my old evil spirit

Can take a Greyhound bus and ride.
