GIL SCOTT-HERON lyrics : "ME AND THE DEVIL"

Early this morning
when you knocked
upon my door (2x)

An I say
Hello Satan
I believe its time to go

Me and the Devil
Walking side by side (2x)
And I'm gonna see my woman

'til I get satisfied
See See
You don't see why

Like you'a dog me 'round
*Now babe you know I ain't do it like that
Say I

Don't see why
people dawging me around
It must be that old old evil spirit

that spirit drop me down in your ground
you may
bury my body

down by the highway side
*I don't really care where you bury me when I'm gone
I'm gone

you may bury my body
down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit

can greyhound
bus that ride
--Bonus part

Standing
in the ruins of another black mans life
Or flying through the valley

separating day and night
I am am Death,
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
