intro

GGot up this morning, Gfeeling around for my shoes,
GKnow by that, I Ggot them walking blues,
CI got up this morning, CI feel around for my Gshoes,
DI say you know by that, I Cgot them old walking Gblues,

Leaving this morning, had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, and I don't mind dying,
This morning, got to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, and I don't mind dying,

break

People tell me the worried blues aint bad
Worst old feeling I ever had.
People tell me the worried blues aint bad
Worst old feeling I ever had.

outro

More Son House verses:

Blues aint nothing but low down shakin chills
If you aint had 'em I hope you never will.

When you get worried drop me a line,
If I don't go crazy, Honey, I through to lose my mind.

Your hair aint curly and your eyes aint blue,
If you don't want me, what in the world I want you?

Dont a man feel bad when the good Lord's Sun go down,
He do not have a soul to throw his arms around.

What do you want me to do?
I've done all I could just to get along with you.

I love my baby like cow love to chew her cud
I'm laying around here though I aint doin no good.

Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days,
Seem like my baby wont stop her low down ways.

I'm going to the gypsy to have my fortune told,
I believe somebody gonna steal my jelly roll.

I got up this morning sick in bed,
I was thinking about the good times that I once have had.

The sun is going down, but I'm a long way from you,
I wont do nuthin 'til I gets my woman too.

I'm going away, going to stay a long time,
I aint commin back until you change your mind.
