Walkin Holes In My Shoes

verse 1 It was a dark rainy night down in Texas I believe the year was nineteen-sixty-two When I packed up all my rags in one little bag I started walking holes in my shoes I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle And old Hank he was singing the blues When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more Started walking holes in my shoes Instrumental break verse 2 Well it's been thirty years since I left her Since I left well I ain't had no news Listen my friends I'd do it all again Walk another hole in my shoes I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle And old Hank he was singing the blues When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more Started walking holes in my shoes Instrumental break verse 3 Well sometimes I still miss that woman Like tonight my mind's on the blues Was a long time ago I became a hobo Started walking holes in my shoes I could hear the engineer's lonesome whistle And old Hank he was singing the blues When I walked out the door said I won't be back no more Started walking holes in my shoes
