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 
E                            A  
Five Feet High And Rising, c'mon it's Pickin' Time 
E                    B7                  E 
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
