[Verse 1] Talking bout Jumping Jim, talking bout Mud Slide Slim Don't you know that a fish got to swim, don't a goose got to fly high? Little dog got to die and I'm going home Woh, don't you know. Woh, don't you know Talking bout a life on the street, going to think about an itch in my Feet Can't you hand me down them highway shoes? Lord knows I'm talking about the walking blues [Chorus] Got the rocking pneumonia blues and I'm headed home, bye-bye Woh, don't you know. Woh, don't you know [Verse 2] Listen here now, don't you come round talking bout over yonder Listen Bound to wake up the walking man in me and I'm bound to Wandering, hey now Talking all about spooning into bone, looking just like Sherlock Holmes Looking for a needle in a haystack, seeing and eating lots of fatback [Chorus] [Outro] Woh, who, don't you know. You ought to know, you ought to know You ought to know You ought to know like a fish in the stream, ought to know like a leaf On the tree Ought to know like a boat in the sea
