Walkin' Down the Line

A-lord, I'm walking down the line, walking down the line,

And I'm walking down the line – my feet'll be flying – to tell about my troubled mind.

I got a heavy-headed gal, I got a heavy-headed gal,

I got a heavy-headed gal, she ain't a-feeling well,

When she's better only time'll tell.

Lord, I'm walking down the line, walking down the line,

And I'm walking down the line – my feet'll be flying – to tell about my troubled mind.

My money comes and goes, my money comes and goes,

My money comes and goes and rolls and throws¹ and rolls and flows

Through the holes in the pockets in my clothes.

Lord, I'm walking down the line, walking down the line,

Lord, I'm walking down the line – my feet'll be flying – to tell about my troubled mind.

I see the morning light, I see the morning light,

Well, it's not because I'm an early riser,

I didn't go to sleep last night.

Lord, I'm walking down the line, walking down the line,

Lord, I'm walking down the line – my feet'll be flying – to tell about my troubled mind.

I got my walking shoes, I got my walking shoes,

I got my walking shoes and I ain't a-gonna lose,

What else can a poor boy do?

Lord, I'm walking down the line, lord, I'm walking down the line,

Lord, I'm walking down the line – my feet'll be a-flying – to tell about my troubled mind.
