Is it a foksong!? Well, perhaps not. It was performed by Cliff Richard I think, and I have been unable to track down the lyrics.

cheers

It was one of Cliff Richard's first hit songs - early 60's - he still had the Shadows as his band

Got no ????? or ????? to tie me down Travellin' so fast my feet ain't touchin' the ground Travellin' light, travellin' light And I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight

That's all I can remember - it's amazing that I remember that much from 35 years ago!

Those were the days!!

From what I remember it goes....

TRAVELLIN’ LIGHT
Brian Bennett, Sid Tepper

Got no bags and baggage to slow me down.
I’m travellin' so fast my feet ain't touchin’ the ground,
Travellin’ light, travellin’ light.
Well, I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb an’ no toothbrush, I got nothin’ to haul.
I'm carryin’ only
A pocket full of dreams, a heart full of love,
And they weigh nothin’ at all.

Soon I'm gonna see that love look in her eyes.
I’m a hoot and a holler away from paradise,
Travellin’ light, travellin’ light.
I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

(or was it 'love light in your eyes'?)

Bert, If you remember that much from the 60's you couldn't have been there. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory.
