apesar do ambiente negro, embruxado e envolto em violência doméstica, este é um grande original de robert johnson (provavelmente o cantautor mais influente de sempre dos azuis do delta do mississippi), aqui numa "demoníaca" e genial interpretação acústica de eric clapton e doyle bramhall.

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, were walkin' side by side


I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round


Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, now


She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round


It must be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body down by the highway side


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 take the Greyhound bus and ride
