(Verses are spoken with
Walking sound background effects throughout)
Man, slow down, don't walk so fast
All ya got to do is take your time
We'll get there
Stay in the road
I don't blame the people
For 'em sayin, 'Walkin the blues'
Walkin' the blues?
'Cause this is it, boy
Now, I think I'm 'on relax myself
That's the way you relax
Now, watch this
(piano)
Boy, it's a hot day
All ya got to do
Is put one foot in front the other one
And just keep on walkin'
Walkin' them blues
(piano)
That's what you call slidin' em, too
I hope the old lady's home
When I get there, all this walking
Ah, when I say, the 'old lady'
I mean my wife
I ain't talkin' about my mother-in-law
But I know she's always there
So, we just gonna keep on walkin' it in
(piano & bass)
We'll soon be there
(piano & bass to end fade)

William Thomas "Champion Jack" Dupree (1904-1992) was a legendary American blues pianist and singer. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Dupree began his musical career in the 1930s playing in street venues and clubs of the Mississippi Delta. Known for his energetic boogie-woogie style and theatrical performances, he became an icon of classic blues. Dupree recorded hundreds of songs throughout his long career, collaborating with artists like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Some of his most famous tracks include "I Ain't Got No Money", "Champion Jack Dupree Boogie" and "Baby Please Don't Go". His music has influenced generations of blues and rock 'n' roll musicians, helping to define the sound of the genre.
