Muddy Waters: Walking Thru The Park

Muddy recorded this tune both in A and G (harmonica "cross-harp" in D or C), interesting riff-tune around the 7b and 3b, 1st and 2nd position on the guitar. Aside the original one (in the key of B) Muddy also recorded a fine cover on the Johnny Winter's album "Nothin' But The Blues", with his full band (1977).

WALKING THRU THE PARK (McKinley Morganfield, 1959)

I'm goin' out walkin'
Walking down through the park
I'm goin' out walkin'
Walking down through the park
I'm gonna walk in the moonlight
Wait until the night gets dark.

 

I'm goin' out walkin'
Down the old avenue
I'm goin' out walkin'
Down the old avenue
I'm gonna walk for so long till she
Don't know what to do.

 

I'm goin' out walkin'
Walkin' down on the street
I'm goin' out walkin'
Walkin' down on the street
I'm gonna walk her right beside of me 'cause I
Know she can't be beat.

 

Don't bother my baby
No tellin' what she'll do
Don't you bother my baby
No tellin' what she'll do
Now, the girl she may cut you
She may shoot you too.
