Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCBDBDBBBB A BEBEBFBFGBGB| He speaks | A |
| - | |
| Walking walking oh the joy of walking | B |
| Swinging down the tawny lanes with head held high | C |
| Striding up the green hills through the heather stalking | B |
| Swishing through the woodlands where the brown leaves lie | C |
| Marveling at all things windmills gaily turning | B |
| Apples for the cider press ruby hued and gold | D |
| Tails of rabbits twinkling scarlet berries burning | B |
| Wedge of geese high flying in the sky's clear cold | D |
| Light in little windows field and furrow darkling | B |
| Home again returning hungry as a hawk | B |
| Whistling up the garden ruddy cheeked and sparkling | B |
| Oh but I am happy as I walk walk walk | B |

| She speaks | A |
| - | |
| Walking walking oh the curse of walking | B |
| Slouching round the grim square shuffling up the street | E |
| Slinking down the by way all my graces hawking | B |
| Offering my body to each man I meet | E |
| Peering in the gin shop where the lads are drinking | B |
| Trying to look gay like crazy with the blues | F |
| Halting in a doorway shuddering and shrinking | B |
| Oh my draggled feather and my thin wet shoes | F |
| Here's a drunken drover Hullo there old dearie | G |
| No he only curses can't be got to talk | B |
| On and on till daylight famished wet and weary | G |
| God in Heaven help me as I walk walk walk | B |
