Text: Gil Scott-Heron. Me And The Devil.

Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello Satan, I believe it's time to go"

Me and the devil, walkin' side by side
Me and the devil, walkin' side by side
And I'm goin' to see my woman, until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why, that you will dog me 'round
(Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right)
Say, don't see why, you will dog me 'round
It must be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body, down by the highway side
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm gone)
You may bury my body, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit, can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
