(Verses are spoken with

Man, slow down, don’t walk so fast

All ya got to do is take your time

We’ll get there

Stay in the road

I don’t blame the people

For 'em sayin, 'Walkin the blues'

Walkin' the blues?

'Cause this is it, boy

Now, I think I’m 'on relax myself

That’s the way you relax

Now, watch this

(piano)

Boy, it’s a hot day

All ya got to do

Is put one foot in front the other one

And just keep on walkin'

Walkin' them blues

(piano)

That’s what you call slidin' em, too

I hope the old lady’s home

When I get there, all this walking

Ah, when I say, the 'old lady'

I mean my wife

I ain’t talkin' about my mother-in-law

But I know she’s always there

So, we just gonna keep on walkin' it in

(piano & bass)

We’ll soon be there

(piano & bass to end fade)
