Me And The Devil lyrics

Song information

Artist: Cowboy Junkies
Album: Whites Off Earth Now!!

Lyrics

Early this morning, he knocked on my door
Early this morning he knocked on my door
I said "hello, satan, I believe it's time to go"

Me and the devil are walkin' side by side
Me and the devil are walkin' side by side
Well, I'm goin' to beat my man until I get satisfied

He says I don't do him right
That I dog him around
Well, babe, you know you ain't treating me right
He says I don't do him right
That I dog him around
Well, it must be this old evil spirit
So deep down within the ground

You may bury my body down by the highway side
...Oh, babe I don't care what you do with my body
You may bury my body down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit can catch a greyhound bus and ride

Early this morning, he knocked on my door
Now me and the devil are walking side by side
Side by side
