Walk in Chinese Footsteps (Free Tibet Mix)

from The Wily Bo Walker Story Vol II by Wily Bo Walker

/

about

A song I wrote whilst jamming with friend and collaborator guitar player E D Brayshaw.

This arrangement was enhanced by Danny Flam's New York Brass as well as the backing vocal talents of Kareña K.

This is the full album version complete with the Tibetan monks' throat singing intro!

This song is dedicated to Benjy King who played Hammond on a number of tracks on ‘Moon Over Indigo’. A truly wonderful and inspired musician.

Sadly, Benjy died in a tragic accident in September 2012

Said of this track:

“Fabulous earthy groove!" Pete Feenstra, Rock & Blues Show

"…a number Dr John world be proud of!" - Andy Snipper, Music News

"Nasty ass groove, love it!" - Dennis Holseybrook, Songsmiths Music Motel

lyrics

GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN
GETTING ON…
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY
YEAH?

WHEN THIS WHOLE WORLD IS GETTING YOU DOWN
EVEN THE MOON'S GONE INTO HIDING
TILL THE SUN COMES AROUND
YOU PUT ON THAT DRESS
I'LL PUT ON MY FAVOURITE TIE
AND WALK IN CHINESE FOOTSTEPS
UNDER HIMALAYAN SKIES…

GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN
GETTING ON…
WHAT DO YOU SAY
YEAH?

YOU CAN WALK THE WALK
YOU CAN TALK THE TALK
YOU CAN PARTY FORTY-EIGHT
WITH THOSE DOGS OF WAR AND HATE
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YEAH?

GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN
GETTING ON…
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY, YEAH?

WHEN THE SUN IS SINKING IN TO THE SNOW
AQUAMARINE AND VERMILLION
AS THE BLOOD STARTS TO FLOW
YOU IN THAT HAT
ME IN MY ALLIGATOR SHOES
WE CAN SHUFFLE TO THE RHYTHM
OF THESE HIMALAYAN BLUES…

GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN
GETTING ON
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY
YEAH?

YOU CAN WALK THE WALK
YOU CAN TALK THE TALK
YOU CAN PARTY FORTY-EIGHT
WITH THOSE DOGS OF WAR AND HATE
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY? YEAH?

GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN GETTING ON DOWN
GETTING ON…
BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YEAHjQuery19106415317878127098_1422531696346?
