Bonnie Raitt - Walking Blues Lyrics






I woke up this mornin
Feelin round for my shoes
Know bout at I got these
Old walkin blues
Woke up this mornin
Feelin round oh for my shoes
But you know bout at I got these
Old walkin blues
Lord I feel like blowin my
Woh-old lonesome home
Got up this mornin, my little
Bernice was gone , Lord
I feel like blowoon my
Lonesome home
Well, I got up this mornin
Woh-all I had was gone
Well-ah leave this mornin if I have to
Woh ride the blind ah
I've feel mistreated and I
Don't mind dyin
Levin this mornin ah
I have to ride a blind
Babe, I been mistreated
Baby, I don't mind dyin
Well, some people tell em that the worried
Wblues ain't bad
Worst old feelin I most
Ever had
Some people tell me that these
Old worried, old blues ain't bad
Its the worst old feelin,
I most ever had
She got a
Elgin movement from her head down
To her toes
Break in on a dollar most anywhere
She goes, ooo oooooooooo
To her head down to her toes

[Spoken:]
Oh honey
Lord, she break in on a dollar
Most anywhere she goes

    breakin' on a dollar every place she goes!

    I can't imagine anybody giving this a thumbs down? they either think it doesn't sound close enough to Robert Johnson, or they hate Robert Johnson.

  3. G.... W....

    Thanks for posting this

    Dang, this is good. This is from her very first album recorded in an attic in Minnesota if I'm not mistaken. That slide guitar is all hers. We got tickets to go see her in Philadelphia in 1971, got lost on the way 🙄 Such a disappointment ! Listened to her every night on WMMR...we were in NJ at that time, 48 years ago now. I'm glad she is still around. I DO think she got the recognition she deserved, but only after she settled and got different backing musicians, & went into a big studio etc, but I love her first 2 albums the best, such sweet voice she had... So nice. Thanks for putting this up!

  5. A.... L....

    With all the other wonderful stuff going on in that tune it might be possible to overlook Junior Well of blues harp. That's a masterful job he did on that one.

  6. M.... E....

    Thanks for sharing this! I'm pretty sure I am half of these views ;) I love the harp in this song.

    I've loved Bonnie music for a long time  - thanks Moppet 

  9. f.... ....

    Many talked about her voice but I truly enjoy her playing as much ...thanks for sharing !!

    Bonnie was always on top of her game, IDK why it took so long for her to get the recognition she so rightly deserved but she finally did!! Great upload~THX! 

    P.... M....

    ooh yeah!!! always!

    P.... M....

    @Pam Mcanelly She did her second album in 72 & was on the cover of The Rolling Stone in 75 or 76. That's not too bad. John Mayall STILL hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves. It's commercial vs critical. Her commercial came a bit late, but I was a fan before that hit. You posed an interesting question. Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment. I am glad she IS getting the fame she deserves now. Many never do. (Check out Danny Gatton). My best to you & welcome anytime. If you can't tell, I love her more primitive early stuff, Barbara

    P.... M....

    Pam Mcanelly , I replied to you but somehow the text ended up in another thread in this column somewhere. Love this song and her super ability w/ the slide guitar, don't you ? And her voice was so sweet 👌None of the girls these days can play and sing with as much talent as she could.

  11. G.... P....

    Love Bonnie's Son House style,here.  Fine harmonica,too, along with the ever great blues benefactress's mighty vocals. Thank you for a great share. Regards.

    G.... P....

    @Greg Parker Thank you for listening. I always seem to go back to the more simplified stuff when choosing my favorites with most all artists. Guess I'm just an old style blues junkie. That group your daughter is in is Great!!! I loved their video. You weren't too shabby either. (Here that's a compliment!) That would be so fun to play with family members! I know you are proud of her...anyone would be! I'll be visiting again real soon. Gonna go out today & have fun. It's a really nice day. That's rare here, this time of year. My best, Moppet

    G.... P....

    Love Bonnie too....an amazing blues vocalist & slide player!!! Great share Greg :)

    G.... P....

    so good!!!!

    Great Blues Girl!  :-)

    SHE has the great blues. She is on my bucket list...I sure hope I get to see her! Thanks so much for listening & taking the time to leave a nice comment. It's good to see you. You are FAST! I just got this up. My best to you, dear lady. Hope you are having a good day. (It's not yet started here. It's about 4:30 am & I'm gonna go to bed.) My best, Moppet

    R.... R....

    Good night,...I live in NZ...here it is 1 hour before midnight,...I am a musical addict especially blues, always listening at night...
    Have a Great Week!  :-)

    @Rineke RobertsonvanDam I will try to remember the time difference. I stay up til about 2-4 with music here...but I have sleep issues. Either too much or too little! I'm like the children's story, The Three Little Bears. I hope you have a really nice week, also! Best wishes & I'm into the blues right now. Finding stuff right and left. I cleaned out a storeage bin that had my music in it in October! i hit the jackpot. Now, to find the rest...:)
