Various Artists - Me and the Devil lyrics

[Verse] Early this morning When you knocked upon my door Early this morning When you knocked upon my door And I say: hello Satan I believe, it's time to go Me and the Devil Walking side by side Me and the Devil Walking side by side And I'm gonna see my woman 'Til I get satisfied See See, you don't see why Like you'a dog me 'round Say, I don't see why People dawging me around It must be that old evil spirit That spirit drop me down in your ground You may bury my body Down by the highway side You may bury my body Down by the highway side So my old evil spirit Can greyhound bus that ride [Outro] Standing in the ruins of another black mans life Or flying through the valley Separating day and night I am am d**h Cried the vulture For the people of the light Caron brought his raft From the sea that sails on souls And I saw the scavenger departing Taking warm hearts to the cold He knew the ghetto was a haven For the meanest creature ever known In a wilderness of heart break In a desert of despair Evil's clarion of justice Shrieks a cry of naked terror Taking babies from their mamas Leaving grief beyond compare So if you see the vulture coming Flying circles in your mind Remember their is no escaping For he will follow close behind Only promise me a battle A battle For your soul and mind And mine And mine
