Align:    
  • The man i loved ran a salesman route
  • Selling goods from house to house
  • Now i knew my mama would never stand
  • For me stepping out with no traveling man
  • Mama bought things that he was a'selling
  • But mama didn't know and i sure wasn't telling
  • That behind her back i was making plans
  • To meet somewhere with that traveling man
  • Oh the traveling man was a good bit older
  • But a girl needs arms to hold her
  • Mama didn't know 'cause i didn't told her
  • But mama wouldn't understand
  • Me stepping out with a traveling man
  • Mama didn't allow me a'going courting
  • And i'd tell lies that i reckon i oughtn't
  • Oh but she'd a'give me the back a' her hand
  • If she'd a'seen me with that traveling man
  • So i tell my mama that i reckon i oughta
  • Go to the spring and fetch us some water
  • What mama didn't know is i had a plan
  • To meet down there with that traveling man
  • Now i make plans to run away
  • With that traveling man on a saturday
  • Well saturday's here and here i stand
  • And there goes my mama with that traveling man
  • Oh that traveling man was a two-time lover
  • He took my love then he took my mother
  • But i didn't know 'cause mama didn't told me and i don't understand
  • My mama running off with my traveling man
  • Mama, you know you oughtn't a'done that
  • You just like my daddy
  • He run off before i ever knowed him
  • You done run-off with my traveling man
  • And i really don't think i ever knowed you either
  • Oh there goes my mama with my traveling man
  • And i'm really gonna miss that traveling man
  • Mm-hm
