Walking Blues Songtext
von Son House

Well, did you get that letter I mailed in your backyard?
Oh, that I mailed in your backyard
It′s mighty sad to say that the best friend you have got to part

Well, I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
Got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
Said, "Hurry, hurry, 'cause the gal that you love is dead"


You know I got my suitcase and I took off down the road
Mmm, took off down the road
But when I got there she was laying on the cooling board

You know I walked up close and I looked down in her face
Mmm, I peeped down in her face
You′s a good old gal but you got to lay down to judgment day

You know I fold my arms and I slowly walked away
Mmm, I slowly walked away
Said you's a good old gal but I just can't take your place
