Strolling Beale, No. 1

I woke up this mornin'

Just as blue as I could be

I woke up this mornin'

Just as blue as I could beI looked all around my bedroom

My woman had cut out on meSo I started strollin' and drinkin'

Strolling Beale Street, up and down

Strolling Beale Street, up and down, oh, ohI enquired about my baby

But my woman could not be found, oh, no, noI saw my baby comin'

She was comin' with a smile

She said, "I'm comin' home to you, baby

Comin' home to my baby child"I, I'll never leave you

Oh, oh, you know just how I feel

I'll forever be with you, baby

So you won't have to keep on strolling Beale
