One Shoe Blues

Performed by B.B. King

Written and directed by Sandra Boynton

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
It had at least 20 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?
