BRAND NEW SHOES
(Lester Blackwell)


Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - 1957



I'm breaking in a brand new pair of shoes
Don't look at me like you think I've got the blues
'Cause I'm walkin' 'round and 'round 
And I'm seeing most of the town
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

I'm doggone if I'm gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I've got no time to lose
'Cause I'm wantin' her here with me 
And I'm needin' her company
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

Ah-ha, so I'm talkin' to myself
Oh! no, she's not puttin' me on the shelf
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes

I'm doggone if I'm gonna cry the blues
My feet are sore but I've got no time to lose
'Cause I'm wantin' her here with me 
And I'm needin' her company
I'm just breakin' in a brand new pair of shoes
