Lord, I'm walkin' down the line,
Walkin' down the line,
An' I'm walkin' down the line,
My feet'll be a-flyin'
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-feelin' well
When she's better only time will tell.
Lord, I'm walkin' down the line,
Walkin' down the line,
An' I'm walkin' down the line,
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell about my troubled mind.
My money comes and goes,
My money comes and goes,
My money comes and goes
And rolls and throws and rolls and flows
Through the holes in the pockets of my clothes.
Lord, I'm walkin' down the line,
Walkin' down the line,
Well I'm walkin' down the line,
My feet'll be flyin'
To tell about my troubled mind.
I seen the morning light
I seen the morning light
Well it's not because
I'm an early riser
I didn't go to sleep last night.
Lord, I'm walkin' down the line,
Walkin' down the line,
Lord I'm walkin' down the line,
My feet'll be flyin'
To tell about my troubled mind.
I got my walkin' shoes,
I got my walkin' shoes,
I got my walkin' shoes
An' I ain't a-gonna lose
What else can a poor boy do?
Lord, I'm walkin' down the line,
Lord I'm walkin' down the line,
Lord I'm walkin' down the line,
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell about my troubled mind.
