"Talkin' Blues" lyrics

Taj Mahal & Phantom Blues Band Lyrics

"Talkin' Blues"
(originally by Bob Marley and the Wailers)

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rocks were my pillow too
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow too

I'm saying, Talking blues (talking blues)
Me say the walking blues (talking blues)
They say your feet is too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Me say talking blues (talking blues)
Me say the walking blues (talking blues)
Your feet is just too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
I've been down on the rock for so long (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)

I'm gonna stare in the sun
And let the rays shine in my eyes
Said I'm a going to take a just-a one step more
'Cause I feel like bombing a church, yes
Now that you know that the preacher is lying
So who's going to stay at home
When the freedom fighters are fighting

'Cause it is brighter on the outside
Than it is on the inside
So don't you take our life for granted
Knowing where we're bound
These words fulfil another mystery
Now that the day's [?]
We're still riding high
Yes, we're still riding high
You know we're still riding high
And we're still riding high
Riding high, high up in the sky
Riding high, Rasta never die
Fire 'pon the Zion [?]
Yes Jah, I know we're still riding high

Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rocks were my pillow too

I'm saying, talking blues (talking blues)
Me say the walking blues (talking blues)
They say your feet is too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Me say talking blues (talking blues)
The walking blues (talking blues)
Your feet is just too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
