Beatnik Walking Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

Hand me down my walking shoes 

And Mr. Murdoch's news 

I'm going thunder rain or shine 

Got a papoose on my back 

We're on the right track, Jack 

To leave the beatnik blues behind 

Amsterdam, where good things come in threes 

Ease your troubled mind and shoot the breeze 

Take the path down to the mill 

I'm going to get my fill 

I'm going to eat till the pot runs dry 

Anne Frank's house and Rembrandt's tomb 

I'd better make some room 

'Cause Brother Vincent's on my mind 

Life goes on behind the tiles and chintzes 

Dirty water fit for kings and princes 

Dutch is not a loving tongue 

You say your piece and run 

You show you care in other ways 

Sailors in their Sunday best 

I'm feeling overdressed 

I've got to lose these blacks and greys 

Amsterdam, where good things come in threes 

Soothe your troubled mind and shoot the breeze 

Hand me down my walking shoes 

Hand me down my walking shoes 

Got to leave these beatnik blues behind
