Travelin' Blues Lyrics

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal had gone
I woke up this morning, she had really done me wrong
I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught air

My gal's been triflin' around just about a week I know
Several of my friends just told me so and so
She's found a new man and now I can understand

I'm goin' away, leaving today, I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I'll take her from that man, I’m gonna bring her home if I can


It's true my baby's gone, I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train, my baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' 'round but now she’s turned him down
