Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here

Me and the Devil

Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
An' 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 drop me down in the 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
