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

[Veres 2]
Well, feel most like blowin’ my lonesome horn
Woke up this morning and what I had was gone
I wanna leave, leave my old lonesome home
Woke up this morning, what I, what I had was gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Leaving in the morning if I have to ride the blind
Well, I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
I wanna leave, even if I have to ride the blind
Well, I've been mistreated and I, I don't mind dyin'
I don't mind dyin’
Leaving in the morning

[Verse 4]
Well, some people tell you the walkin’ blues ain't bad
It is the worst old feelin’ I've most ever had
Don't let 'em tell you the walkin’ blues ain't so bad
Worst old feelin' I've most ever had
I've ever had, ever had
[Instrumental Break]

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

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

[Outro]
Walkin' blues, walkin' blues
Walkin' blues, walkin' blues
Walkin' blues, walkin' blues
Walkin' blues, walkin' blues
