Me and the Devil Blues

Me and the Devil Blues - Robert Johnson

Early this mornin'

When you knocked upon my door

Early this mornin' 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 walkin' side by side

And I'm goin' to beat my woman

Until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why

That you will dog me 'round

(spoken:) Now babe you know you ain't doin' me right don'cha

She say you don't see why ooh

That you will dog me 'round

It must-a be that old evil spirit

So deep down in the ground

You may bury my body

Down by the highway side

(spoken:) Baby 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
