Lyrics Me and the Devil Blues - Robert Johnson

Me and the Devil Blues

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
She say you don’t see why, ooh, that you will dog me 'round
(spoken: Now, babe, you know you ain’t doin' me right, don’cha)
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
