Woke up this mornin` 
I was feelin` around for my shoes 
I knew I had them 
Mean `ol walkin` blues 
But I woke up this mornin` 
I was feeling around for my shoes 
I know I had them 
Mean ol` walkin` blues

Don`t ever let her tell you 
That the worried blues ain`t bad 
It`s the worst old feeling 
That I most ever had 
Don`t ever let `em tell you 
That the worried blues ain`t bad 
It`s the worst old feeling 
I most ever had

Well I`m leaving Jonesboro 
If I have to ride the blind 
I`ve been mistreated 
And I don`t mind dyin` 
Well I`m leaving Jonesboro 
If I have to ride the blind 
I`ve been mistreated 
And I don`t mind dyin`

She`s got an Elgin movement 
From her head down to her toes 
Breakin` on a dollar
Any where she goes 
She got a Elgin movement 
From her head down to her toes 
She break in on a dollar 
Any where she goes

Woke up this mornin` 
I was feelin` around for my shoes
I knew I had them 
Mean ol` walkin` blues 
But I woke up this mornin`
I was feelin` around for my shoes 
I knew I had them 
Mean old walkin` blues
