Woke up this morning, felt around for my shoes 

That's when I knew I had them old walking blues 

I woke up this morning, felt around, felt around for my shoes 

That's when I knew I had them old, mean old walking blues 

Leaving in the morning if I have to, robbed blind 

I've been mistreated and I don't mind dying 

I'm leaving in the morning if I have to, robbed blind 

I've been mistreated and I just don't mind dying 

She got a Belgium movement from her head down to her toes 

Breaking on a dollar 'most anywhere she goes 

Well I got a good woman coming my way 

Tried to try, some electric pantin', some electric chillin' cryin' 

But, ooh, mistook, misgiven 

Got me up and walking Baby, but I'm walking blue, walking blue 

Well some people say boy, the walking blues ain't bad 

It's the worst old feelin' I 'most ever had
