I Walked From Dallas

(album: The Chess Box - 1991)

I walked all the way from Dallas, Texas
People I'm going to Californ'
I walked all the way from Dallas, Texas
People I'm going to Californ'

My baby, don't, it ain't gon' be
No more walking at all

I promised I'd be there on Sunday morning
To take her out to Sunday school
I promised I'd be there on Sunday morning
To take my baby to Sunday school

You know her as a good woman
Hey, you know my baby knows my rules, oh yeah

I got a girl for Monday, one for Tuesday
And Wednesday and Thursday and Friday too
I got a girl for Monday, Tuesday
And Wednesday and Thursday and Friday too

Don't look for me through the week, womens
I got to take my baby to Sunday school

I walked clean from Dallas, people I'm going to Californ'
I walked from Dallas, people I'm going to Californ'
I have lost my baby there
And it ain't gon' be no more walking at all
