| A-don't you know that I’m leaving
|

|
| 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.
|
