The railroad don't go there
Airplanes don't go there
Greyhound don't go there
Anywhere near there.

That mean I gotta walk
Gotta stick out my thumb
But the folks 'round these here parts, child
They don't figure no walkin' bum.

My baby sent me there
I didn't wanna go there
Said I'd find some work there
Or somewhere near there.

I didn't get no job
No I didn't get none
But I'm on this highway
I ain't nothin' but a walkin' bum.

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
And I'm a-walkin' in the sun
But I ain't got no choice
When you're a walkin' bum.

Gotta get back home, now
Any way that I can
The rocks and stones are hurting my feet
This walkin' bum is still a man.

Not very good either.

Why do the blues make me happy?... There goes another five minutes of toe tapping instead of typing {#Bananajam}
love peter case
what a voice!
I sing like hell too, but nobody's approached me about making an album of it...
I predict someone's going to be walking in Memphis pretty soon.

{#Moon}.......Dancing bum!

I really like this kind of 'raw' blues - reminds me of David Bromberg's "You Gotta Suffer, If You Wanna Sing the Blues"
As a blues fan , this is not bad!
