You can't plant cotton
And fix to have a tongue
You can't right people and make them wrong
Keep on walkin'
Walkin' my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday

I once had a car
It was painted white and black
Couldn't keep up the payment
The man they took it back
Keep on walkin'
Walkin' my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday

You know something people
That really gave me the blues
Didn't have no bottom on my walking shoes
Keep on walkin'
Walkin' my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday
