The Celebrated Walkin’ Blues Songtext
von Taj Mahal

I woke up this morning baby, feeling all ′round for my shoes
Honey, now you know 'bout that, baby, I got them old, got them old walkin′ blues
I woke up this morning baby, honey I felt around for my shoes
Now you know about that baby, I had, I had the walkin' blues

Well you know, minutes seem like hours, hours seem just like days
I hope my little woman, she got to try to tame her low down ways
I hope my baby, she wanna change her low down ways
Everything I tell my baby, you know, my little woman understands just what I say

C'mon do it!
I′m leaving early this morning baby if I have to ride the blind
You know I′m sick and disgusted baby, I'm so doggone dissatisfied
Yes I′m leaving in the early morning baby, mama, you know if I have to, I have to ride only blind
I'm sick and disgusted baby, mama, now, I′m so doggone dissatisfied


Gotta go to Memphis, baby, to have my hambone boiled
You know I done lay around yea, Clarksdale baby, until my little old hambone's spoiled
I say I gotta go to Memphis, baby, mama, now, honey I got to have my hambone boiled
I done lay around here Clarksdale baby, honey now, I let my, my little old hambone spoil

It′s getting late over in the evening baby you know I feel like er I'll leave my lonesome home
I woke up this morning baby you know all I had everything everything I had were gone
I said I woke up this morning baby, honey ev-everything I had, everything I had were gone
I woke up this morning, somebody done, hey, baby you know they done ruin my happy home

I'm going down the rolling bog (??) baby, honey, just to try some tricks
A gypsy woman over in Tuna (??), Mississippi she said she′s gonna ha ha get my business fixed
I said a gypsy woman over in Tuna, Mississippi, baby now you know she said she′s gonna, she's gonna get my business fixed
You know that woman, she′s got that crazy mind, done become a gypsy, she done stop her little tricks

I woke up this morning baby, feeling all 'round for my shoes
How ′bout that, little girl, you know that I had them old, I had them, old walkin' blues
I said I woke up this morning baby, and I was, I was feeling all around for my shoes
Now well you know about that baby, I had, yes I had them walkin′ blues
