Travelin’ Man

C Travelin’ Man, Ricky Nelson, 1961

I’m a travelin’ man,  made a lot of stops, All over the world
And in every port I own the heart, Of at least one lovely girl

I’ve got a pretty señorita waiting for me, Down in old Mexico
And if you’re ever in Alaska stop and see, My cute little Eskimo

Or my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town,
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll  in old Hong Kong, Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea, I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held her, oh so tight

[REPEAT]

Oh, I’m a travelin’ man, Yes, I’m a travelin’ man
Whoa, I’m a travelin’ man, Yes, I’m a travelin’ man
