A-don't you know that I'm leaving
I gotta catch the next train out
I can't believe it
Cause I'm a-already on my own
A-Memphis town is the place I'm found
There ain't no use in a-sticking around
I got my pack on my back my friends
And I'm heading on out again
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
I've got to travel across this land
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
A-Lord I'm on the move
I told you girl I ain't staying tonight
I got to leave while the getting is right
I got the places to see, people to meet
And I'm a-headin' on down the street
A-when I get to old New York town
A-pretty ladies there to show me around
I'll take my money, all I can spend
And I'm headin' on out again
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
I've got to travel across this land
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
Lord keep a-travelin' on
Break
Well tomorrow is coming
And I'll be on the road again
A-pushin' and huffin'
While trying to get ahead
I think I'm getting ready and hot
I know it's time for a-me to stop
I need to back another whiskey shot
Lord, keep a-travelin' on
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
I've got to travel across this land
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend
A-Lord can't you see I got to keep on
Travelin' on
Lord keep travelin' on
