I think it �s a kind of blues, the music.

Wikipedia: "Walking Blues" is a blues standard first recorded by Son House for Paramount Records in 1930 and again for the Library of Congress in 1941. It was notably covered by his one-time prot�g� Robert Johnson in 1936 and by many other blues musicians since.

This is a saying in English:

depressed state of mind + blues

Walking = the way we walk in the depressing sate of mind.

So it �s walking blues = I knew that I needed to walk around all day in a depressed state of mind (the blues) or in an effort to ease/lighten/alleviate a depressed state of mind.

I �ve heard of �the blues �, being down and depressed, but not �the walking blues. �

Hello! I think that �walking blues � comes from a wonderful Paul Simon song. I don �t think that it �s really an expression. It seems to me to be a poetic use of language.
