There's great old ragtimey song called Travellin' Man (He'll never give up and he'll never stay put, and I bet he never settles down). I have a version of it on a record by Doc Watson, but I remember hearing a different more bluesy version of it several years ago that I liked a lot but I forgot who it was. Does anyone remember such a recording?

The Double Decker String Band also has a version of it on their "Evolution Girl" recording.

I like David Bromberg's version. I think it is recorded on "How Late'l You Play To? "(fantasy records)...harp

One hell of a lot of people have recorded that song. My favourite is Pink Anderson. Can't remember the record. Jim Jackson did a nice job as well.

There is a version of "Traveling Man" by Phineas Rockmore that was recorded by John and Ruby Lomax in Texas in 1940 that's included on DEEP RIVER OF SONG: BLACK TEXICANS (Rounder).

Some of the lyrics, that I've never encountered in any of the revival versions, are certainly questionable by even the least rigid of today's PC standards.
