GET BEHIND ME SATAN AND PUSH
(Ann Kiker / Doris Hamilton)


Billie Jo Spears - 1968



Well, I hail from Kentucky and I'm headed down Georgia way
I got a score to settle and an awful lot o' things to say
A sassie lassie done stole my man
If that don't make me mad, nothin' can
When I get goin', there ain't no slowin'
Get behind me Satan and push

Get behind me Satan, get behind me Satan
Get behind me Satan and push
Through the Georgia pines, like a mountain lion
Come on Satan and push

When I get started, don't you stand too close
'Cause I can cause more trouble than most
And I ain't in no mood to boast
Get behind me Satan and push

(Instrumental Break)

Well, I mind my business and you can do the same
But if you're lookin' for trouble, then trouble is my name
I got a streak of meanness that just won't quit
I ain't never met my match yet
Look out woman, dynamite's comin'
Get behind me Satan and push

Get behind me Satan, get behind me Satan
Get behind me Satan and push
I'm real darn mad and that's just too bad
Come on Satan and push

This Kentucky dame ain't nobody's fool
And it's a little too late to be playin' cool
I'm mad like a hornet, yellin' "Darn it!"
Get behind me Satan and push

Get behind me Satan, get behind me Satan
Get behind me Satan and push
Get behind me Satan
