All my life I've been a traveling man
All my life I've been a traveling man
Staying alone and doing the best I can
I hold (?) my trunk down to Tennessee
I hold (?) my trunk down to Tennessee
It's hard to tell about a man like me

I met a girl, I couldn't get her off my mind
I met a girl, I couldn't get her off my mind
She passed me up, said she didn't like my kind

I'm scared to bother around her house at night
I'm scared to bother around her house at night
She's got a police dog and he's falling (?) for a fight

His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants

Yes, I think I'll travel, I think I'll let her be
I think I'll travel, I think I'll let her be
Before she sits that police dog on me
Before she sits that dog, that dog on me
