Walking Man - Guy Clark

Now what’s up with the walking man

I wonder where he’s gone

Marching down to Birmingham

I think I’ll tag along

There was a walking man come by here

A hundred years ago

Walkin' down the Trail of Tears

Out to Oklahoma-oh

Out to Oklahome

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Hand me down my cane

Tune me up my mandolin

I’ll be on my way, hey

It sure does smell like rain

Woody Guthrie was a walking man

In the Dustbowl days

Had a six-string guitar in his hand

He killed a fascist every day

Chuck Berry is a walking man

So was Gandhi too

I’m gonna lace me up my ol' broghans

That’s just what I’ll do

I got walkin' left to do

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Hand me down my cane

Tune me up my mandolin

I’ll be on my way, hey

If I had shoes like a walkin' man

I’ll tell you what I’d do

I’d walk away and not come back

Till I got to Katmandu-dah

Doo-dah, all the doo-dah day
