Well I heard you sing Big River and it chilled me to the bone
F# B7
I heard you moan Hey Porter and Leave Your Guns At Home

Five Feet High And Rising, c'mon it's Pickin' Time

You walked tall each time you walked the line
Each night I played the boogie from the Home of the Blues
I Still Miss Someone but I'll Rock and Roll with you
Give My Love to Rose while I'm busy Doin' Time
You walked tall each time you walked the line

Now Daddy Sang the Bass pickin' on a Flat-top Box
Blistered from the Cocaine Blues and Gettin' Rhythm hot
If I can't hear the workin' man I'll Cry, Cry, Cry
You walked tall each time you walked the line

Now many years have passed since we first hit the tube
And nothing since has gotten me like Folsom Prison Blues
W.S. gave us the back-beat while I guitar beat in time
You walked tall each time you walked the line
Yeah you walked tall each time you walked the line
