Walking Blues

Walking Blues - Ma Rainey

Woke up this morning up this morning

With my head bowed down hey hey hey

Woke up this morning with my head bowed down

I had that mean old feeling

I was in the wrong man's town

Mailman's been here mailman's been here

But didn't leave no news hey hey hey

Mailman's been here but didn't leave no news

That's the reason why mama's got the walking blues

Walked and walked till I walked and walked

I almost lost my mind hey hey hey

Walked and walked till I almost lost my mind

I was afraid to stop walking

Cause I might lose some time

Got a short time to make it short time to make it

And a long ways to go Lord Lord Lord

Short time to make it and a long way to go

Trying to find the town they call San Antonio

Thought I'd rest me thought I'd rest me

I couldn't hear no news Lord Lord Lord

Thought I'd rest me I couldn't hear no news

I'll soon be there 'cause I got the walking blues
