Son Of A Travelin’ Man Lyrics By Ed Ames

    riff

    ba da daba da da
    ba da daba da da da

    well i’m the son of a traveling man
    and though i’m partially shackin’
    railroad whistles and freighter horns
    turn me on and i’m packing

    seattle savannah
    orlando or anywhere
    chicago st louis
    sheboygan i’m going there

    though i know that i love you
    and the feeling’s so good
    if you love me too
    i’m warning you

    don’t count em forever
    we can have a ball together
    but if fun time come admitten’ comes a feeling
    i’ll be splitting

    tacoma pomona
    don’t know where
    i’m heading for
    there’s one thing i’m sure of
    just as soon as i get there baby
    i’ll be feeling like
    traveling on once more

    baby now that you understand
    well there’s no reason for sorrow
    you know i’m the son of a travelin’ man
    here today gone tomorrow

    from boston to charleston
    wherever the four winds blow
    i’m restless i’m ready
    there’s a rainbow for me to follow
    anywhere that it leads me
    i must go

    milwaukee muskegon
    miami the heart is there
    atlanta new orleans
    columbus or anywhere

    biloxi or philly
    toledo i’m going there
    fade
