I woke up this morning
And I put on my hat
Walked out the door
And I a'int never coming back

I got the walking
Got the walking Buddha blues

Yes I walked out the door
Right out in the street
Puttin' some serious distance
Between You and my feet

I got the walking
Got the walking Bhudda blues

Cause baby you hurt me
She hurt me so bad
You were the best baby that I ever had

I got the walking
Got the Walking
Bhudda blues

There are somethings in life
That a man's gotta choose

A?int gonna talk no trash
A?nt gonna cast no blame
There's a hunger in my stomach
And I think it?s gonna rain

I got the walking
Got the Walking
Bhudda blues

The Devil's behind me
And the Devil can bruise
But I've got the luck of the angels
Who put these
Soles in my shoes

I got the walking
Got the Walking
Buddha blues
