Well I have been most everywhere a travellin man can go
I've been to Maine, Lord I've been to Spain, and California-o

And I've met up with danger, boys, I've met up with fear
And if you ask them who I am, they'll tell you the Balladeer

Balladeer, Balladeer, they'll tell you the Balladeer

Yes where I'll be and what I'll see, I often never know
I throw my pack all across my back, and down the road I go

I'll sing you a song for my supper, boys, I'll sing it loud and clear
And if you ask me who the hell I am, I'll tell you the Balladeer

Balladeer, Balladeer, I'll tell you the Balladeer

Cause I have been most everywhere a travellin man can go
I've been to Maine, Lord I've been to Spain, and California-o

And I've met up with danger, boys, I've met up with fear
And if you ask them who I am, they'll tell you the Balladeer

Balladeer, Balladeer, they'll tell you the Balladeer
