[E] [A]
All my life I've been a travelin' man
[E]
All my life I've been a travelin' man
[B7] [E]
Stayin' alone and doin' the best I can
[A]
I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee
[E]
I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee
[B7] [E]
Hard to tell about a man like me
[A]
I met a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind
[E]
I met a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind
[B7] [E]
She passed me up, said she didn't like my kind
[A]
I'm scared to bother around her house at night
[E]
I'm scared to bother around her house at night
[B7] [E]
She got a police dog cravin' for a fight
[A]
His name is Rambler, when he gets a chance
[E]
His name is Rambler, when he gets a chance
[B7] [E]
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants
[A]
Guess I'll travel, I guess I'll let her be
[E]
Guess I'll travel, I guess I'll let her be
[B7]
Before she sicks
[E]
her police dog on me
