[Verse 1]
All my life I've been a travellin' man
All my life I've been a travellin' man
Stayin' alone and doing the best I can

[Verse 2]
I ship my trunk down to Tennessee
Ship my trunk down to Tennessee
It's hard to tell 'bout a man like me

[Verse 3]
I had a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind
I had a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind
She passed me up saying she didn't like my kind

[Verse 4]
Scared to bother around the house that night
I'm scared to bother around the house that night
Got a police dog cravin' for a fight

[Verse 5]
His game is rambling, when he gets the chance
His game is rambling, when he gets the chance
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants

[Verse 6]
Guess I'll travel, guess I'll let her be
Guess I'll travel, guess I'll let her be
Before she sets that police dog on me
