Me And The Devil Blues (Alternate Take)

(Album: The Complete Recordings - 1990)

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 walking 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 say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round
(Now, baby, you know you ain't doing me right, now)
She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will dog her '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
(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 get a Greyhound bus and ride
