Me and the Devil was walking side by side
Me and the Devil was walking 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
She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
It must be that ol' evil spirit so deep down in the ground
You my burn my body down by the highway side
You my burn my body down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit can get a Greyhound bus and ride
The above is a very easy way to play that Robert Johnson song.
For a more detailed transcription I would recommend:
