Talkin' 'bout jumping jim Talkin' 'bout a mud slide slim Don't you know that a fish got to swim Don't a goose got to fly high Little dog got to die And i'm goin' home Woh, don't you know Woh, don't you know Talkin' 'bout a life on the street Gonna think about an itch in my feet Can't you hand me down them highway shoes Lord knows i'm talkin' 'bout the walkin' blues I got the rockin' pneumonia blues And i'm headed home, bye-bye Woh, don't you know Woh, don't you know Listen here now, don't you come 'round Talkin' bout over yonder Bound to wake up the walkin' man in me And i'm bound to wanderin' Hey now, talkin' all about 'spooning into bone Looking just like sherlock holmes Looking for a needle in a haystack Seein' and eatin' lots of fatback Talkin' 'bout a railroad track And i'm going home, goodbye Woh, don't you know Woh, don't you know Woh, don't you know You oughta know You oughta know You oughta know You oughta know like a fish in the stream Oughta know like a leaf on the tree Oughta know like a boat in the sea.
