    Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,
    You know 'bout that babe, Lord, I had them old walkin' blues.
    
    Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds.
    I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
    This morning, I had to go ride the blinds,
    I've been mistreated, Lord, I don't mind dying.
    
    People tell me walkin' blues ain't bad;
    Worst old feeling I most ever had.
