WALK-IN BLUES 
(to the Delta Blues standard "Walking Blues")

Woke up this morning, saw my name in the news
That's when I knew I had them old walk-in blues
I woke up this morning, saw my name, saw my name in the news
That't when I knew I had them old, mean old walk-in blues

Feels most like losing my own self-control
Woke up this morning, wrote a note last night, I can't recall
Lost my own self control
Woke up this morning, what'd I do last night

Gonna hafta stand trial, spend my life in the pen
I've been walked-into, don't know how why or when
Gonna spend my life in the pen
I've been walked-into, don't know how why or when

Some people tell ya that walk-in blues ain't bad
But it's the worst old feeling I most ever had
Don't let them tell ya, walk-in blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feeling I most ever had

They all think I'm guilty, from my head down to my toes
Callin' me a killer, most anywhere I go
They all think I'm guilty, from my head down to my toes
Callin' me a killer, most anywhere I go

Woke up this morning, saw my name in the news
That's when I knew I had them old walk-in blues
I woke up this morning, saw my name, saw my name in the news
That's when I knew I had them old, mean old walk-in blues
Walk-in blues, walk-in blues, walk-in blues, walk-in blues
That's when I knew I had them old, mean old walk-in blues.
