Thread Name: Lyr Req: Traveling Kind (from Country Gentlemen)
Subject: lyrics search
I am looking for a song that I used to sing years ago. We always called it Travelin Man. I always believed that it was a Doc Watson song and while a search of his discography does produce a song on one of his albums called Travelin Man it is a different song. A Google lyrics and Mudcat song list search did not produce what I am looking for.

I have no idea where I found this song or who wrote or performed it but here are the lyrics that I remember...

Oh lord I am
A travelin man
And my daddy
So was he
And every night
When the sun goes down
Oh my lord
I must be free

Well listen to the sound
Of the pouring rain
And listen to the wail
Of the south bound train
It's a lonely sound
And a lonely sight
I'm a lonely man
On a lonely night.

Much thanks for any help you can give!!
