All my life I've been a travellin' man

All my life I've been a travellin' man

Wanderin' around doing the best I can

I ship my trunk down to Tennessee

Ship my trunk down to Tennessee

It's hard to tell

About a man like me

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

Scared to bother around

The house that night

I'm scared to bother

Around the house that night

Got police dogs cravin' for a fight

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

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
