Walkin' Blues Lyrics


Woke up this mornin', people, looked around for my shoes
You know I had those mean old walkin' blues now
Woke up this mornin' I looked around for my shoes
Oh, you know, you know I had
Lord, I had those mean old walkin' blues
Some people tell me, worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin', child, I’ve ever had now
Oh, some people tell me that some worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin', child
Lord, Lord, I’ve ever had
Brooks run to the rivers, rivers run to the sea
If I don’t find my baby, Lord, they’re gonna bury me now
Oh brooks run to the rivers, rivers run to the sea

If I don’t find my baby
I know they’re gonna bury me
Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days
Since that girl started in her low down ways
Lord, minutes seem like hours
Hours, don't you know they seem like days
Oh, since my baby
Started in her low down ways
Some people tell me, worried blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin', child, I’ve ever had
Hey, some people tell me, worried blues ain't bad
Hey it's the worst old feelin', child
Lord, you know I’ve ever had
Woke up this mornin', I looked' round for my shoes
You know I had those mean old walkin' blues
Oh, woke up this mornin', people
Yeah, I looked around for my shoes
Oh, you know, you know, you, don't you know I had
Lord, I had those mean old walkin' blues

Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James (June 21, 1902 – October 3, 1969) was an American blues singer, guitarist, pianist and songwriter. Early years James was born near Bentonia, Mississippi. As a youth, he heard local musicians such as Henry Stuckey and brothers Charlie and Jesse Sims and began playing the organ in his teens. He worked on road construction and levee-building crews in his native Mississippi in the early 1920s, and wrote what is perhaps his earliest song, "Illinois Blues", about his experiences as a laborer.
