She said, I'm gonna have a girl child
an d she won't never stay at home.
Well, I'm a travelin' woman,
you know I'm a travelin' kind.
You know I'm a travelin' woman,
you know that I'm a travelin' kind.
But if you don't take me back,
I'll leave all alone in my mind
Well, I asked him how about it,
Lord, and he said al right
Lord, I asked him how about it,
Now when I asked him how long,

But I asked him to love me,
he said he didn't know how
But I asked him to love me,
he said he didn't know how
But I will do you, sweet mama,
like a calf will do a cow
Oh, hey, hey, Lord, Lord,
Lord, I feel like crying,
but I ain't got no tears to fall.
Lord, I feel like crying,
but I can't get no tears to fall.
You know I had a happy home
But I just wouldn't stay there at all
