[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', up this mornin'
With my head bowed down, hey, hey, hey
Woke up this mornin' with my head bowed down
I had that mean old feelin' I was in the wrong man's town
[Verse 2]
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 walkin' blues
[Verse 3]
Walked and walked 'til I, walked and walked, I
Almost lost my mind, hey, hey, hey
Walked and walked 'til I almost lost my mind
I was 'fraid to stop walkin' 'cause I might lose some time
[Verse 4]
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 ways to go
Tryin' to find the town they call San Antonio
[Verse 5]
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 walkin' blues
Walking Blues was written by Lovie Austin & Ma Rainey.
