Early this mornin' when you knocked up on my door Early this mornin' when you knocked up on my door And I said hello, said I'm home, I believe it's time to go Me and the devil was walkin' side by side Me and the devil was walkin' side by side I'm going to beat my woman until I get satisfied She said you don't see why that I be talkin' around My baby, you know you ain't doin' me right now She said you don't see why that I be talkin' around It must be that old Eva's 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 down by the highway side So my old Eva's spirit can get a gray old person rough
