C<\/span> Travelin’ Man, <\/span>Ricky Nelson, 1961<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m a travelin’ man,\u00a0 <\/span>made a lot of stops, All over the world<\/span>
\nAnd in every port I own the heart, Of at least one lovely girl<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve got a pretty se\u00f1orita waiting for me, Down in old Mexico<\/span>
\nAnd if you’re ever in Alaska stop and see, My cute little Eskimo<\/span><\/p>\n

Or my sweet Fraulein<\/span> down in Berlin town, <\/span>
\nMakes my heart start to yearn<\/span>
\nAnd my China doll\u00a0 <\/span>in old Hong Kong, Waits for my return<\/span><\/p>\n

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea, I remember the night<\/span>
\nWhen we walked in the sands of the Waikiki<\/span>
\nAnd I held her, oh so tight<\/span><\/p>\n

[REPEAT<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, I’m a travelin’ man, Yes, I’m a travelin’ man<\/span>
\nWhoa, I’m a travelin’ man, Yes, I’m a travelin’ man<\/span><\/p>\n
