Lyrics
Interlude:
Trav’lin’, trav’lin’
I’ve been a -travelin’ on, just travelin’ on.

I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler,
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler,
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler,
I’ve been a-travelin’ on.

(Interlude)

I traveled here and then I traveled yonder,
Well, I traveled here and then I traveled yonder,
Well, I traveled here and then I traveled yonder,
Well, I’ve been a- travelin’ on.

(Interlude)

I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry,
Well, I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry,
Well, I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry,
Well, I’ve been a-travelin’ on.

(Interlude)

Traveled in the mountain, traveled down in the valley,
Well, I traveled in the mountain, traveled down in the valley,
Well, I traveled in the mountain, traveled down in the valley,
Well, I’ve been a-travelin’ on.

(Interlude)

Traveled with the rich, traveled with the poor,
Traveled with the rich, traveled with the poor,
Traveled with the rich, traveled with the poor,
I’ve been travelin’ on.

(Interlude)

One of these days I’m gonna stop all my travelin’,
One of these days I’m gonna stop all my travelin’
One of these days I’m gonna stop all my travelin’
I’ve been a-travelin’ on.
(Interlude)

Gonna keep on a-trav’lin on the road to freedom,
Gonna keep on a-trav’lin on the road to freedom,
Gonna keep on a-trav-lin on the road to freedom,
I’ve been a-travelin’ home
