Travelin' Man

Jerry Fuller

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well 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

Got a pretty senorita a waitin' for me
Out down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute a little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down 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 Waikiki
And I held her oh so tight
[ guitar ]
Oh my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town...
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea...

Oh I'm a travelin' man
Oh I'm a travelin' man
Oh I'm a travelin' man

Waiting For A Train

Jimmie Rodgers

All around the water tank waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home sleepin' in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman to give him a line of talk
He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show
Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
[ guitar ]
He put me off in Texas it's a place I dearly love
With the wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me or lend me a helpin' hand
I'm on my way from Frisco goin' back to Dixie Land
My pocket book is empty and my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waitin' for a train

Pan American

Hank Williams

Well I've heard all your stories about your fast trains
But now I'll tell you bout one all the southern folks have seen
She's the beauty of the Southland listen to that whistle scream
It's that Pan American on her way to New Orleans

She leaves Cincinnati headed down that Dixie Line
When she passes the Nashville Tower you can hear her whistle whine
Stick your hand right out the window and feel that southern breeze
You're on that Pan American on her way to New Orleans

If you're ever in the Southland and you wanna see the scenes
Just get yourself a ticket on that Pan American Queen
There's Louisville Nashville Montgomery the capitol of Alabam
You pass right through them all when you're New Orleans bound
[ guitar ]
If you're ever in the Southland and you want to see the scenes...
She leaves Cincinnati headed down that Dixie Line...

Silver Rails

Bobby Dyson - Clarence Selman

Silver rails shining ahead through the night
One on the left and one on the right
Ribbons of steel leading me on
Silver rails silver rails carry me home

I hear the wheels go clickety-clack
Riding alone this steel silver track
Up on the mountain to the valley below
Silver rails taking me where I must go

Silver rails shining ahead through the night...

I see the station she's waiting for me
My darlin' Anita so lovely to see
Lord keep the engine on this silver track
And my thanks to you sir for bringing me back

Silver rails shining ahead through the night...

Bummin' Around

Pete Graves

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Got an old slouch hat got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please
Just a bummin' around

I got a million friends don't feel any older
I've got nothin' to lose not even the blues
Just a bummin' around

Whenever worries start to botherin' me
I grab my coat my old slouch hat
Hit the trail again you see

I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please
Just a bummin' around
[ guitar ]
Whenever worries start to botherin' me...
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'...
Just a bummin' around

Jimmy Newman - Jimmy Key

© Southern Arts Music, BMI

Goin' back (goin' back) to my baby (to my baby)
I'm leaving today

One way ticket on a one way track

Goin' back to my baby right away

Goin' back (goin' back) to my baby (to my baby)
I'm leaving today
Been so lonesome (I been lonesome) for my baby (for my baby)
Ever since I went away
Leaving worries behind
Gotta make up for those times
Goin' back to my baby right away

Goin' back (goin' back) to my baby (to my baby)...
Goin' back (goin' back) to my baby (to my baby)...

Going Going Gone

Emil Anton - Alan Thomas

© Gil Music, BMI

Goin' goin' gone goin' goin' gone)

Mister auctioneer those are my things you're sellin' today
And just like the love they remind me of
They're goin' goin' gone

I still see her face when I gave her that ring you're sellin' now
Like all she promised me for all eternity
It's goin' goin' gone

It hurts me so to see that ol' chair go
How much it means to me no one understands
I'd give my life and dollars for it now
I wanna keep it from that strangest ends

Mister auctioneer you don't know how you're breakin' my heart
Cause like all those old friends screens all my hopes and dreams
Are goin' goin' gone are goin' goin' gone

Freight Train

Paul James - Fred Williams

© Colgems Music, ASCAP

Freight train freight train goin' so fast
Freight train freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train she's on
Won't you tell me where she's gone

Don't know where she's headin' for
What she's done against the law
Got no future got no hope
Just nothin' but the rope

Freight train freight train goin' so fast...

Lost her reason lost her life
Killed her friend in a mortal strife
Must have moved like the golden skies
Just wait until she dies

Freight train freight train goin' so fast...
[ guitar ]
When she dies just bury her please
Way down near ole chesnut trees
Put flowers at her head and feet
And then she's gone to sleep

Freight train freight train goin' so fast...

Won't you tell me where she's gone
Won't you tell me where she's gone

He'll Have To Go

Joe Allison - Audrey Allison

© Central Songs, BMI

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me darling do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can say the words I wanna hear
While you're with another man
So darling answer yes or no
And I will understand

So put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

I'm Movin' On

Hank Snow

© Unichappell Music, BMI

That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't a comin' back
I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland we're comin' to you
We're movin' on hear my song
You had the laugh on me and I'm settin' you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister engineer take that throttle in hand
This's the fastest rattler in the southern land
And keep a movin' me on keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind put me there on time
Keep rollin' on
[ guitar ]
I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm movin' on

But some day baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep a movin' on you stayed away too long
I'm through with you too bad you're blue
I'm movin' on
Movin' on movin' on movin' on

Miles

Howard Hausey - Bill Smith

© Shelby Singleton Music, BMI

(You have the good times)
I got the miles

While in the ways of love I stood still
And each mile that I've traveled they've all been up hill
And when I think about 'em I just cry like a child
You have the good times I got the miles

But it's true you look better I got lines in my face
You were always out front and you set to pay
I tried to keep on always wore a smile
You have the good times I got the miles

Troubles never bothered you
You just stuck 'em in style
You made me carry all the heartaches
And all I got is miles

Folks say I'm a fool you're not for me
Well now maybe that's right and I'm too blind to see
But I'd rather be your fool than another's king
So get on with the good times and leave the miles to me

Alabam

Lloyd Copas

© Copas Publ, BMI

Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street
The people down there are eatin' like wild geese
So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam

Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time
Eatin' up their chickens and drinkin' their wine
I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam

Some folks say that a tramp won't steal
But I cought three in my corn field
I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam

Well one had a bushel and one had a peck
One had a roast'near tied around his neck
I'm on my way I'm a goin' back to Alabam
[ guitar ]
Hey there comes Sal walkin' down the street
With the run down shoes tied on her feet
Mornin' honey I'm on my way to Alabam

Hey hello Sal now how are you
With the run down slipper and tore up shoe
I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam

When I get ready to leave this earth
I'm a goin' back to my money's worth
I'm on my way I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
I'm a goin' on back to Alabam
