New Shoes

New Shoes Blues

I bought me a new pair of shoes--They felt just fine in the store
But when I got home and tried them back on they just didn’t fit anymore

(Chorus) I ‘ve got those new shoes blues--My feet are really payin’ a toll
I’ve got those new shoes blues...Lord have mercy on my soles!

I got a blister on my heel--I got a blister on my toe
I got one that climbs up my ankle and reaches where that damned shoe don’t even go

(Chorus)

Don’t feed me no liver and onions--Don’t feed me no mystery meat
I’m suff’rin’ from blisters and bunions so bad it’s like walkin’ on pickled pigs’ feet

(Chorus II) I’ve got those new shoes blues -- There’s one shoe salesman I’d like to beat!
I’ve got those new shoes blues -- ‘Cause he sold me the agony of de-feet.

I call the left shoe Mussolini--The right one’s named Sadaam Hussein
But these shoes are much greater than two-bit dictators when it comes to inflicting real pain

(Chorus)

I’ve got an affectionate woman--She folds me up like a sheet
I’d be on my way over to her house right now if it weren’t for the pain in my feet

(Chorus)
