That's Why I'm Walking Lyrics - Sonny Terry & Brownie Mcghee

[Incomprehensible] I wake just like a flame 

Sixteen long hours will grab you to your grave 

That's why I'm walking, walking my blues away 

Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday 

I once had a car, it was painted white and black 

Couldn't keep up the payment, the man he took it back 

That's why I'm walking, walking my blues away 

Well, the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday 

Tell them about it Brownie 

I wouldn't tell a mule to get up, no, if he sat down in my lap, woah 

If that's what kill my old grand pap 

That's why I'm walking, walking my blues away 

Well, the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday 

You can't pack cotton and speck together corn 

You can't take right people and make it wrong 

That's why I'm walking, walking my blues away 

Well, the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday, woo
