Traveling Man (1973 Version) - Dolly Parton

作词：Dolly Parton

作曲：Dolly Parton

The man I loved had a selling 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 because I didn't told her

But she wouldn't understand

Me stepping out with a traveling man

Mama didn't allow me going courting

And I'd tell lies that I reckon I oughtn't

Oh but she'd give me the back of her hand

If she'd seen me with that traveling man

So I tell my mama that I reckon I ought to

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

That traveling man was a two-time lover

He took my love then he took my mother

But I didn't know because mama didn't told me

and I don't understand

Mama running off with my traveling man

I'm really going to miss that traveling man
