Got up this morning, feeling around for my shoes
Know by that I got the walking blues
I say, I got up this morning, I was feeling around for my shoes
I say, I know by that now I got the walking blues
The blues ain't nothing but a low down shake and chill
If you ain't had them, I hope you never will
Oh, the blues is a low down, whoa, shake and chill
Well now, if you ain't had them, boys, 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 with the world, 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, baby, with the world, I want with you
Don't a man feel bad when the good Lord's sun goes down
He don't have nobody to throw his arms around
Can't a man feel bad, I say, when the good Lord's sun goes down
I say, 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 along with you
Looky here, honey, what do you want poor me to do?
I said I've done all I could, honey, just to get along with you
You know I love my baby like a cow loves to chew her cud
I'm laying around here though I ain't doing no good
I love you, honey, like a cow loves to chew her cud
Oh, I'm laying around here, baby, well, I sure ain't doing no good
You know to me it seems like hours, but it seems like days
Seems like my baby done stop her low down ways
Oh, to me it seems like hours, I said that it seems like days
It seems like my baby done stop her low down ways
I'm going to the gypsy now to have my fortune told
I believe somebody's stealing my jelly roll
I'm going to the gypsy, I believe I'll have my fortune told
'Cause I believe somebody is trying to steal my jelly roll
Got up this morning, feeling sick and bad
Thinking about the good times that I once have had
I say, soon this morning I was feeling so sick and bad
You know I was thinking about the good times now that I once have had
The sun is going down behind that old western hill
Oh, behind that old western hill
And I wouldn't do nothing, boys, not against my mama's will
You know I'm going away, I'm gonna stay a great long time
I ain't coming back, honey, until you change your mind
Oh, I'm going away, I believe I'll stay a great long time
I say I ain't coming back, honey, until you change your mind
