I was born a travellin' man, that's all I'll ever be  Moving around from town to town its 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 for me  I'm a 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 with a travellin' man  I'm a 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  But at least I'm free    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 lasted  ---  ---  Travellin' Man -- that's what I am  Travellin' Man  Travellin' Man
