lyrics

TRAVELLING MAN

Came upon a child of God
She was walking down the road
Said she knew my face
and he could help me with my load
For the path you tread is lonely
Come and join our happy band
For I know the Road ain’ t easy
bit I’m a freeborn travellin man

Came upon a down and out
So drunk he could not see
Said son this is the life I tell you
Just the bottle you and me
Well a drink’s a drink but I can’t think
When my head is always canned
So I’m on the road pack up my load
I’m a freeborn Travelling man

Met the son of satan and
he bartered for my soul
Offered all the riches in the world
All the wealth that I could hold
Well I’m a faithless disbeliever
but I don’t need the devil’s hand
I have all I need and I have my creed
I’m a freeborn travelling man

Met a girl the sweetest heart
Her soul it was divine
Swore on all thats holy then
and there that she’d be mine
But the path to love ‘s not straight and true
And I never held her hand
So I’m on the road pack up my load
I’m a freeborn travellin’man I tell you
I’m a freeborn travellin’ man

I’ve walked with many tribes of man
I’ve travelled all alone
In search of truth and justice
But I never found no home
I have wandered through the wilderness
Followed footsteps in the sand
But I never found no common ground
I’m a freeborn travellin’ man I tell you
I’m a freeborn travellin’ man
