The travellin' man's a wonder
With his guitar in his hand
He likes to move from town to town
'Cause he's an all night one man band
He plays all kinds of places
And he sleeps in strange hotels
And the travellin' man knows how to live
He's always doing well
The travellin' mans companion
Is the bottle by his side
He likes to take a drink or two
Or maybe three, or four or five
And he always knows the best of ways
To make you sing along
And the travelling man will make you smile
With the humour in his song
He wants to see the whole wide world
And sweet talk lots of pretty girls
He doesn't really care for much
Because he never really keeps in touch
The traveller's got no master plan
He lives from day-to-day
As soon as you can say hello
The travellin' man he's away
Now the travelling man's a gambler
And he never loses out
He's cool, calm, and collected
Because he knows his way about
He doesn't carry credit cards
No medals of success
No Eurocheques or Diners Club
Or American Express
He wants to see the whole wide world
And sweet talk lots of pretty girls
He doesn't really care for much
Because he never really keeps in touch
The traveller's got no master plan
He lives from day-to-day
As soon as you can say hello
The travellin' man he's away
Now the travellin' man's a charmer
You see it in his eyes
He's a real ladies man
Like the devil in disguise
He's got no steady woman
Because he likes to get around
So don't be fooled, and don't believe
He'll ever settle down
He wants to see the whole wide world
And sweet talk lots of pretty girls
He doesn't really care for much
Because he never really keeps in touch
The traveller's got no master plan
He lives from day-to-day
As soon as you can say hello
The travellin' man he's away
He wants to see the whole wide world
And sweet talk lots of pretty pretty girls
He doesn't really care for much
And he never really keeps in touch
The traveller's got no master plan
He lives from day-to-day
As soon as you can say hello
The travellin' man he's away
As soon as you can say hello
The travellin' man he's away
