I was born a travellin' man, that's all I'll ever be   Moving around from town to town, it's what makes me so free   My father was a trucker for the years since '23   On the day that I was born his blood was left to me      I'm the travellin' man   Travellin' man, that's what I am   Travellin' man   Travellin' man, that's what I am      Travellin' man, that's what I am, no one puts a hold on me   You'll see me once or maybe twice, that's all you'll see of me   All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand   Don't be a fool and fall in love, put your heart in a travellin' man      I'm the travellin' man   Travellin' man   Travellin' man   Travellin' man      Travellin' man, that's what I am   Guess I'll always be   Travellin' man, that's what I am   But at least I am free   I'm a traveller      Travellin' man   Oh, that's what I am      Travellin man, that's what I am, Lord, I move so fast   I have had so many women, none of them have last   I am just a mover, movin' fast as sound   Always free, sometimes lonely, always movin' around      I'm the travellin' man   Travellin' man   Travellin' man   Travellin' man   Oh, that's what I am   Travellin' man
