Lyrics:

Woke up this mornin', up this mornin'
With my head bowed down, hey, hey, hey
Woke up this mornin' with my head bowed down
I had that mean old feelin' I was in the wrong man's town

Mailman's been here, mailman's been here
But didn't leave no news, hey, hey, hey
Mailman's been here but didn't leave no news
That's the reason why mama's got the walkin' blues

Walked and walked 'til I, walked and walked, I
Almost lost my mind, hey, hey, hey
Walked and walked 'til I almost lost my mind
I was 'fraid to stop walkin' 'cause I might lose some time

Got a short time to make it, short time to make it
And a long ways to go, Lord, Lord, Lord
Short time to make it and a long ways to go
Tryin' to find the town they call San Antonio

Thought I'd rest me, thought I'd rest me
I couldn't hear no news, Lord, Lord, Lord
Thought I'd rest me, I couldn't hear no news
I'll soon be there 'cause I got the walkin' blues
