Well, the boys are selling extras, haven't you heard the news?
Shopped the gal I love, now I've got those walkin' blues
Now I keep walkin', walkin', yes, I keep walkin'
Yes, I'm so glad, trouble still lasts always
I took my gal to the graveyard, thought that she was dead
Shoot this good jelly roll at her, and she raised up her head
And kept on walkin', yes, she kept on walkin'
Yes, I'm so glad, trouble don't last always
Now I may not be good lookin', I'm not long and tall
If you don't believe I'm a jockey, back your mule up to my stall
And let's keep walkin', ooh, and let's keep walkin'
Well, I'm so glad, trouble don't last always
Now she'll sell some for a nickel, she'll sell some for a dime
If you're broke and ain't got no money, she'll let you have some on time
She'll keep walkin', yes, she'll keep walkin'
Yes, I'm so glad, trouble don't last always
She sold some to the policeman, the neighbors raised a grudge
She didn't give a damn because she sold some to the judge
She kept walkin', yes, she kept walkin'
Yes, I'm so glad, trouble don't last always
