Travelin' Blues Lyrics - Merle Haggard

TRAVELIN' BLUES 

(Jimmie Rodgers - Shelly Lee Alley) 

'31 Peer International, BMI 

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal had gone 

I woke up this morning she had really done me wrong 

I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught air 

My gal's been trifling around just about a week I know 

Several of my good friends just told me so and so 

She's found a new man and now I can understand 

I'm going away leaving 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 I'm gonna bring her home if I can 

It's true my baby's gone I know it won't be long 

We'll both be on that train my baby's coming home again 

She's been trifling around but now she has thrown him down 

I'm going away leaving today...
