ERIC CLAPTON - Me And The Devil Blues lyrics

rate me

By 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

I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round

[Spoken:] Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' 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

[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 get a Greyhound bus and ride
