Duke Ellington
Walking and Singing the Blues
[FEMALE SOLOIST (LIL GREENWOOD)]
Walkin' and walkin' and singin' the blues
Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues

I got my walkin' papers
Yes, you gave me the sack
I got my walkin' papers
Yes, you gave me the sack
I had to step down
And get way back

Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues

I know you're waiting for me to come crawlin' back
With the tears runnin' down my cheek
Waiting for me to come crawlin' back
With the tears runnin' down my cheek
But I ain't lookin' back, I'm on a one-way track
And I ain't about to be that weak

Hey, walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Hey, walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Mmm, walkin', walkin' and singin' thе blues
Walkin', walkin', I've got the bluеs
Walkin', walkin' and singin' the blues
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm walkin', walkin'
I'm walkin' and singin' the blues
Walkin', walkin', walkin', singin' the blues
