Lyrics

C'mon feet, start movin'

Got to get me there, ow

Hey hey, uh huh, huh, huh, huh, oh

Uh huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah, oh

Twenty-five miles from home, girl

My feet are hurtin' mighty bad

Now I've been walkin' for three days

And two lonely nights

You know that I'm mighty mad, huh

But I got a woman waitin' for me

That's gonna make this trip worthwhile

You see she's got the kind

Of lovin' and a kissin'

A make a man go stone wild

So I got to keep on walkin', mmm hmm, huh

I got to walk on, oh ho ho

I-I-I-I-I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now

And I can hear my baby callin' my name

It's as if as though I'm standin' at her front door

I can hear her that doggone plain

Now I'll be so glad to see my baby

And hold her in my arms one more time, huh

Now when I kiss her lips

I'll turn a back over flip

And I'll forget about these feet of mine

I got to keep on walkin', hey

I got to walk on, let me tell ya y'all

I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh

But I just can't lose my stride

Ow!

C'mon feet don't fail me now

I got ten more miles to go

I got nine, eight, seven, six, six, six

I got five more miles to go now

Over the hill just around the bend, huh

Although my feet are tired

I can't lose my stride

I got to get to my baby again

I got to keep on walkin', mmm hmm, hey

I got to walk on

Wait, let me tell ya y'all

I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh

But I just can't lose my stride

Walkin' yeah, huh

I got to walk on

Let me tell ya y'all

I see my baby just across the fence, woo!

Walkin' yeah, huh

I got to walk on

Let me tell ya y'all, got to say
