Me And The Devil Blues
(Robert Johnson)
Transcribed by: Brian Whitman
The Original Lyrics File
Daniel Gold
Early this morning
I heard you knock upon my door
Early this morning
I heard you knock upon my door
I said, "Hello, Satan,
I believe it's time to go"
Me and the devil
We were walking side by side
Me and the devil
We were walking side by side
I'm gonna love your woman, Satan
'Til I'm satisfied
She said, "You may know your ways
But I've been dogged around"
"You may know your ways
But I can hear you come to dog me around"
Must be that evil spirit
Way deep down in the ground
You may bury my body
Down by the highwayside
You may bury my body
Down by the highwayside
That way my evil spirit
Can rise up, take a Greyhound bus and ride
-----
VARIATIONS:
"Bury my body, down by the Colonel's side" (reference to Col. Bruce Hampton)
