Walkin' Down the Line

Singer - Joan Baez

Well, I'm walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
I'm walkin' down the line
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell you 'bout my troubled mind

Got a heavy-headed gal
Got a heavy-headed gal
Got a heavy-headed gal
She ain't a-feelin' well
When she's better only time will tell

An' I'm walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
I'm walkin' down the line
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell you 'bout my troubled mind

My money comes and goes
Money comes and goes
My money comes and goes
And rolls and flows through the holes
In the pockets in my clothes

Walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
I'm walkin' down the line
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell you 'bout my troubled mind

Seen the morning light
Seen the morning light
And it's not because
I'm an early riser
I just never got to sleep last night

Got my walkin' shoes
Got my walkin' shoes
I got my walkin' shoes
An' I ain't a-gonna lose
Believe I got the walkin' blues

I'm walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
I'm walkin' down the line
My feet'll be a-flyin'
To tell you 'bout my troubled mind

Walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
Walkin' down the line
Feet'll be a-flyin'
Tell you 'bout my troubled mind
