Walkin' Blues Lyrics

Walkin' Blues - Son House

Written by:Robert Johnson

Well got up this morning feeling 'round for my shoes

 

Know about that I got the walkin' blues

 

I said I got up this morning I was feeling 'round for my shoes

 

I said you know about that now I got the walkin' blues

 

The blues ain't nothing but a lowdown shaking chill

 

If you ain't had 'em I hope you never will

Oh the blues is a lowdown old aching chill

 

If you ain't had 'em boys I I hope you never will

 

When you get worried drop me a line

 

If I don't go crazy honey I'm going to lose my mind

 

When you get worried I said sit down and drop me a line

 

If I don't go crazy honey I'm going to lose my mind

 

Your hair ain't curly your doggone eyes ain't blue

 

If you don't want me what the world I I want with you

Oh your hair ain't curly and your doggone eyes ain't blue

 

I said now if you don't want me babe what the wide world

I want with you

 

Don't a man feel bad the good lord's sun go down

 

He don't have nobody to throw his arms around

Can't a man feel bad I said when the good lord's sun go down

 

I said he don't have a soul not to throw his arms around

 

Looky here baby what you want me to do

 

I've done all I could just to get a along with you

 

Looky here honey what do you want poor me to do

 

I say I've done all I could honey just to get along with you

 

You know I love my baby like the cow love to chew her cud

 

I'm layin' round here though I ain't doin' no good

 

Ooh I love you honey like the cow love to chew her cud

 

I'm layin' round here baby but I I sure ain't doin' no good

 

You know the minutes seem like hours the hours seem like days

 

Seem like my baby don't stop her lowdown ways

 

Oh the minutes seem like hours I said the hours they seem like days

 

You know it seems like my bride never stop her old lowdown ways

 

I'm going to the gypsy now to have my fortune told

 

I believe somebody is stealing my jelly roll

 

I'm going to the gypsy I believe I'll have my fortune told

 

'Cos I believe somebody is trying to steal my jelly roll

 

I got up this morning feeling sick and bad

 

Thinking 'bout the good times that I once have had

 

I said soon this morning I was feeling so sick and bad

 

You know I was thinking 'bout the good times now that I

I once have had

 

The sun is going down behind that old western hill

 

Yes yes

Ooh behind that old western hill

 

And I wouldn't do nothing boys not against my woman's will

 

You know I'm going away I'll stay a great long time

 

I ain't coming back here until you change your mind

Oh I'm going away I believe I'll stay a great long time

 

 

I said I ain't coming back honey until you change your mind
