I'm packing my grip
I ain't takin' no rag
I'm leaving home
I'm traveling lone

I'm trav'lin' light because my girl has gone
But from now on I'm trav'lin' light
She said goodbye and stole my heart away
But for today I'm trav'lin' light

No one can see, how dear to me
No one but you, and my memories
Some lucky day she will come back again
But from now on I'm trav'lin' light

No one can see, how dear to me
No one but you, and my memories
Some lucky day she will come back again
But from now on I'm trav'lin' light

I'm packing my grip
Ain't takin' no rag
I'm leaving home
I'm traveling
Well, I'm trav'lin' light
