written by Robert Johnson /Horoscope Music Company /BMI Woke up this mornin' I was feelin' around for my shoes I knew I had them Mean 'ol walkin' blues But I woke up this mornin' I was feeling around for my shoes I know I had them Mean ol' walkin' blues Don't ever let her tell you That the worried blues ain't bad It's the worst old feeling That I most ever had Don't ever let 'em tell you That the worried blues ain't bad It's the worst old feeling I most ever had Well I'm leaving Jonesboro If I have to ride the blind I've been mistreated And I don't mind dyin' Well I'm leaving Jonesboro If I have to ride the blind I've been mistreated And I don't mind dyin' She's got an Elgin movement From her head down to her toes Breakin' on a dollar Any where she goes She got a Elgin movement From her head down to her toes She break in on a dollar Any where she goes Woke up this mornin' I was feelin' around for my shoes I knew I had them Mean ol' walkin' blues But I woke up this mornin' I was feelin' around for my shoes I knew I had them Mean old walkin' blues
