Lyrics:

You cant stop it its like a runaway train
Pumpin through your heart, runnin round your brain
Talkin bout the walkin blues, my friend
Play it when Im sad, play it when Im happy again

John Henry had a hammer, I been told
Would ring like silver, shine like gold
Talkin bout a steel-drivin man
Just like John, Im doin just the best that I can

Livin in the country, livin in town
No matter where you go, blues walkin round
People, you know what Im talkin about
Cant keep it in, gotta get it out

Soon this mornin I remembered a dream
I was standin by the water, so mad I could scream
With the walkin blues again
Im headed op the river but I cant say when

Naw, you cant stop it its like a runaway train
Pumpin through your heart, runnin round your brain
Talkin bout the walkin blues, my friend
Play it when youre said, play it when youre happy again
