All my life Ive been a travellin man
All my life Ive been a travellin man
Stayin alone and doing the best I can
I ship my trunk down to Tennessee
Ship my trunk down to Tennessee
Its hard to tell bout a man like me
I had a gal, I couldnt get her off my mind
I had a gal, I couldnt get her off my mind
She passed me up saying she didnt like my kind
Scared to bother around the house that night
Im scared to bother around the house that night
Got a police dog thats cravin for a fight
His name is Rambling, and when he gets the chance
His name is Rambling, and when he gets the chance
He leaves his mark on everybodys pants
Guess Ill travel, guess Ill let her be
Guess Ill travel, guess Ill let her be
Before she sets that police dog on me
