[Verse 1]
Whoa, I'm so lonesome baby, now
I am in a traveling mood, yes I am
Whoa, I'm so lonesome now, now, honey
I tell you I am in a traveling mood, um, hmm

[Chorus 1]
Guess I'll have to hop a freight to California
Because I've got the traveling blues, yes I have

[Verse 2]
Sometime I feel like walking, now, now
Well I have no walking shoes, no, no
Well, sometime I feel like walking, now, now
I tell you I got no walking shoes, do you believe me

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]
Because I keep drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea
I keep drifting and drifting, now like a ship out on the sea, well
You see I ain't got no, nobody in this world to care for me
If my baby, if my baby would only take me back again
Oh now if my baby now uh, would only take me back again
Well I may not be good for nothing, baby
But you see I haven't got no friends
[Chorus 2] [x2]
I'll give you all my money, now
Tell me what more can I do, I want to know
Just give some more [x3]

Well, you may be a good little girl sometime
But you just won't be true

[Bridge] [x2]
Bye, bye baby, now
Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Bye baby, bye, bye baby)

[Outro]
Well, it's too late to worry
I want you to know
I said, oh, it's too late to cry
Cry, cry, cry, no more
