I had the blues so bad
I walked to new orleans
I had the blues so bad
For my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked in with a smile
And a new pair of shoes
For every hundred miles
I got the blues
From san frisco way
But i could pass up la
When i cross that arizona sun
I knew half of my peril was won
I had the blues so bad
I walked to new orleans
I had the blues so bad
For my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked in with a smile
And a new pair of shoes
For every hundred miles
When i got to new mexico
I had to rest 'cause my feet were sore
Cross'n texas took a lot of time
But the people there were so fine
I had the blues so bad
I walked to new orleans
I had the blues so bad
For my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked in with a smile
And a new pair of shoes
For every hundred miles
When i got to that lousiana line
My time is left an' i start feelin' fine
On the out skirts of new orleans
I was greeted by my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked to new orleans
I had the blues so bad
For my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked in with a smile
And a new pair of shoes
For every hundred miles
I had the blues so bad
I walked to new orleans
I had the blues so bad
For my little queen
I had the blues so bad
I walked in with a smile
And a new pair of shoes
