[Verse 1]
When I woke up this morning, felt around for my shoes
That's when I knew I had them old, the walkin' blues
I woke up this morning, looked around, and felt around for my shoes
That's when I knew I had them old, mean old walkin' blues

[Veres 2]
Well, feel like blowin' my old lonesome horn
Woke up this morning, my lady was gone
Lord, I feel, feel like blowin' my lonesome horn
Woke up this morning, what I had was gone
What I had was gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Some people tell you the walkin' blues ain't bad
Worst old feelin' that I've ever had
Some people tеll you that the walkin' blues ain't so bad
Worst old feelin' I've most еver had, I've most ever had

[Verse 4]
Leaving in the morning if I have to ride the blind
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
I'm gon' leave in the morning if I have to ride the blind
Well, I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin', don't mind
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
She got an Elgin movement from her head down, oh, to her toes
Breaking on a dollar 'most anywhere she goes
Woo-hoo, movement on down to her toes
Breaking on a dollar 'most anywhere she goes, anywhere she goes

[Verse 6]
I woke up this morning and I felt around for my shoes
That's when I knew I had them walkin' blues
I woke up this morning, I looked around and I felt around for my shoes
That's when I knew I had them mean old walkin' blues

[Outro]
Old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues
Old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues, old walkin' blues
Old walkin', old walkin', old walkin', old walkin'
Old walkin', old walkin' blues
