Lyrics
Walkin' Blues
Woke up this mornin', feel round for my shoes,
you know by that I got those, woh walkin' blues,
This mornin', feel round for my shoes,
I said you know by that I got those, woh walkin' blues.
Early this mornin' got to go ride the blinds,
I been mistreated babe, I don't mind dyin'.
This mornin', (oooh), got to go ride the blinds,
I said Babe I been mistreated, and I don't mind dyin'.
Feel like blowin', my lonesome home
Woke up this mornin' all I had was gone.
Lord I feel like, (oooh), blowin' my lonesome home.
When I got up this mornin', all I had was gone.
Some people tell you, worried blues ain't bad,
Worst old feelin' I most ever had.
Some people tell you, those worried blues ain't bad,
Lord it's the worst old feeling, I most ever had.
Elgin movements from his head down to his toes,
He can break in on a dollar anywhere he goes,
Lord he's got elgin movements, from his hair down to his umph (oooh),
He can break in on a dollar anywhere he goes.
