Paperboy holl'in', "Extra! Have you read the news?"
Shot the brown I love, I got them walkin' blues
REFRAIN: I keep on walkin', tryin' to walk my trouble away
I'm so glad trouble don't last always
You used to be my sweet milk, you soured on me
We won't be together like we used to be
REFRAIN: I keep on walkin', tryin' to walk my trouble away
I'm so glad trouble don't last always
I got the bad luck blues, my bad luck time done come
You say bad luck followin' everybody, seem like I'm the only one
REFRAIN: I keep on walkin', tryin' to walk my trouble away
I'm so glad trouble don't last always
SOLO (Spoken: Play that thing now, boy!)
I got coffee grinds in my coffee, boll weevil in my meal
Tacks in my shoes keep stickin' in my heel, and
REFRAIN: I keep on walkin', tryin' to walk my trouble away
I'm so glad trouble don't last always
