Well, I woke up this morning
Couldn't find my shoe
Yes, I woke up this morning and I couldn't find my shoe.
Although the right one is here, I need the left one too
(Yes, I do)
I can hear my mama calling.
She says it's time to go.
Yes, I can hear my mama calling.
She says:
Really now, it's time to go.
I say:
Mama, I can't find one of my shoes!
And she says, Oh no. Not again.
I've got the one shoe blues
It seems they're never gonna stop.
Yes, those one shoe blues.
Oh, they might never ever stop.
Mama says,
Just come along now!
One shoe.
Do you expect me to hop?
Did you look in the closet and under the bed?
Yes, I did
Did you look carefully in the closet and under the bed?
Yes, yes I did.
Try and think where you left it.
That's what my mama said.
Last night I left it right here next to my other shoe.
I know I put it right here next to my other shoe.
I think somebody took it.
But I don't know who.
No, I don't.
I've got the
One shoe blues.
That's why I'm singing this song.
I've got the
One shoe blues!
And so I'm singing this sad song.
You know it's been
At least twenty minutes
That I've been looking in every possible place
For that…
Huh.
There it is.
I guess it was on my foot all along.
Okay, I'm ready to go now.
Anybody seen my coat?
