Me And The Devil / Your Soul And Mine

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)
She say you don't see why
that you will dog me '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
(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 evil spirit
can catch a Greyhound bus and ride

...

So if you see the vulture coming
Flying circles in your mind
Remember there is no escaping
For he will follow close behind
Only promise me a battle
Battle for your soul, and mine.

(Gil Scott-Heron)
