Walking Blues

Son House/Robert Johnson

Open G

Woke up this morning I looked ’round for my shoes

You know I had those mean old walking blues

Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked ’round for my shoes

Girl, I had those, ooh, mean old walking blues

–

Some people tell me that worried blues ain’t bad

It’s the worst old feeling I ever had

People tell me that worried blues ain’t bad

It’s the worst old feeling, ooh child, I ever had

–

Looks run to the ocean and the ocean runs to the sea

If I don’t find my baby, don’t bury me

Look to the ocean and the ocean went to the sea

Yeah, if I don’t find my baby, ooh yeah, don’t bury me

–

Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days

Since my baby started her low down ways, yeah

Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days

Since my baby, ooh, started her low down ways

–

I woke up this morning, people, I looked ’round for my shoes

You know I had those mean old walking blues

Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked ’round for my shoes

Yeah, you know I had those, ooh, mean old walking blues
