Travelin' Blues - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

I had a dream last night

I thought my good gal had gone

Well, I woke up this mornin'

She really hadn’t done me wrong

I know it’s not fair

But my good gal has done

I’m goin' away, leavin' today

I’m gonna bring my baby back

If that eight wheel driver

Don’t jump the railroad track

I take her from that man

Gonna bring her home if I can

My gal’s been triflin' 'round

About a week I know

Several of my friends

Just told me so and so

She’s findin' new men

And now I can’t understand

So I’m goin' away, leavin' today

I’m gonna bring my baby back

If that eight wheel driver

Don’t jump the railroad track

I take her from that man

Gonna bring her home if I can

Well, it’s true my baby’s gone

I know it won’t be long

We’ll both be on that train

My baby’s comin' home again

She’s been triflin' 'round

But now she has turned him down

Yeah, I’m goin' away, leavin' today

I’m gonna bring my baby back

If that eight wheel driver

Don’t jump the railroad track

I take her from that man

Gonna bring her home if I can
