Lucille Bogan Walkin' Blues
I been walkin', I been walkin', I been walkin' all
night with the blues,
I been walkin', I been walkin', walkin' all night long,
Tryin' to find some place, I can call my happy home.
They say that bad luck and trouble, they both walk hand
in hand,
They say that bad luck and trouble, both walk hand in
hand,
And you never had no bad luck, until you lost your man.
My baby put me out, put me out for somebody else,
My baby's put me out, for somebody else,
But that's alright, I brought it on myself.
You can mistreat me now, but you can't when I go home
You can mistreat me now-ooh, but you can't when I go
home
And I'm gonna tell everybody, that you just won't leave
me alone.
Lord Lord Lord, baby you know you done me wrong,
Lord Lord Lord, daddy you done me wrong,
Now I'm a poor motherless girl, and I ain't got no
happy home.
