T-Bone Walker - Street Walking Woman (1950)

From a single in 1950



I've got a street walkin' woman, she stays tall an
twisted all the time
I've got a street walkin' woman, she stays tall an
twisted all the time
She goes to bed with a fifth of whiskey an she wakes
up with a jug a-wine
She leaves home early in the mo'nin', then she don't
come back until the sun's goin' down
She leaves home in the mo'nin', an' she don't come
back until the sun is goin' down
She's always got her whiskey up to her mouth, and her
face full of ugly frown
I work hard everyday, try to make ends meet
I work hard everyday an try to make ends meet
All that woman wants to do, is keep her big feet in
the street
I love my street walkin' woman, she walks the avenue
up and down
I love my street walkin' woman, she walks the avenue
up and down
Sometime I wish she would start ta walkin', an' keep
on walkin' outta town
