Whoa, I'm so lonesome baby, now
I am in a travelin' mood, yes I am
Whoa, I'm so lonesome now, now, honey
I tell ya I am in a travelin' mood, um, hmm

Guess I'll have to hop a freight to California
'Cause I've got the travelin' blues, yes I have

Sometime I feel like walkin', now, now
Well I have no walkin' shoes, no, no
Well, sometime I feel like walkin', now, now
I tell you I got no walkin' shoes, do you believe me

That's why I've got to hop a freight to California
'Cause I've got the travelin' blues, um, hmm

'Cause 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

Play it, son

I'll give you all my money, now
Tell me what more can I do, I wanna know
(Just give some more, just give some more)
(Just give some more)

I'll give you all my money, little girl
Tell me what more can I do, I've got to know
(just give some more, just give some more)
(Just give some more)

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

Bye, bye baby, now
Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Bye baby, bye, bye baby)
Bye, bye baby, now
Baby, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Bye baby, bye, bye baby)

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)
