Travelin' Blues

(Jimmie Rodgers - Shelly Lee Alley)



I had a dream last night

I thought my good gal had gone

I woke up this morning

She really had done me wrong

I know it's not fair but

My good gal has done caught air.



Well, I'm goin' away, leavin' today

I'm gonna bring my baby back

If that eight wheel driver

Don't jump the railroad track

I'll take her from that man

Bring her home if I can.



--- Instrumental ---



It's true my baby's gone

I know it won't be long

We'll both be on that train

My baby's comin' home again

She's been travelin' around

But now she has thrown him down.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm goin' away leavin' today

I'm gonna bring my baby back

If that eight wheel driver

Don't jump the railroad track

I'll take her from that man

Bring her home if I can...
