I fill my gin glass, I throw my head back
I wash down these travelin blues
I lost my good man down in the Bad Lands
I wanna bring him back home to me
Travelin daddy your evil ways
Got me swimming in a haze
Travelin daddy Ill make you stay and you wont go travelin no more
I sing a sad song because my mans gone
He skipped town with the brown bottle flu
A boxcar mister, a crazy drifter, a carpet bagger with a hole in his shoe
Travelin daddy your coal dark eyes
Got me believin all your lies
If your wantin to leave me then all I can say
Travelin daddy youll be back on day
I smell the night air, I comb my long hair
I break bones like a Southern hoodoo
I burn your picture, I call for twisters
I hold to tight my lovers juju
Travelin daddy your long dark hair
I see your face everywhere
But while your are running youll soon understand
Travelin daddy your days are few
Cause this womans gonna get you
Travelin Daddy, travelin Man..
