Ricky Nelson--'Travelin' Man'



I'm a travelin' man
I've made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every part I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty Señorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo

Oh, my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you, oh so tight

Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Whoa, I'm a travelin' man

NOT Ricky Nelson-'Stumblin' Man'



I'm a stumblin' man
I've made quite unexpected stops
end up on the ground
and then dust off my a*s

I'm a dorky senor, waiting to fall,
quite unexpectedly
See, my balance ain't for s**t
get ready to catch me

Oh, to stand without plummeting down
makes my heart yearn
but I can't and this I'll never learn,
soon it will be my turn

to Donkey Dance all over the place
I think I can walk easily
but gone forever are those days
Thank you, head injury

Oh, to stand without plummeting down 
makes my heart yearn
but I can't and this I'll never learn,
soon it will be my turn

to Donkey Dance all over the place
I think I can walk easily
but gone forever are those days
Thank you, head injury

Now, I'm a stumblin' man
Yes, just a stumblin' man
Yes, just a stumblin' man
Owe-such a stumblin' man
