i try to stay here
but my blues go walking
my blues go walking
they go out walking
i try to stay here
when i'm going down
i try to stay here
but my blues go walking around

i lay in my bed
but my blues go walking
my blues go walking
my blues go walking
i stay in my bed
& i don't even make a sound
i lay in my bed
& my blues go walking 'round

my blues go walking
they go looking
someone's burning
what someone's cooking
someone's moaning
someone's out of her nightgown
my blues go looking
my blues go walking 'round

don't fall in love
if you can't live it
if you can't give it
if you can't live it
don't fall in love
if you can't take it to town
don't fall in love
or your blues will go walking 'round
