Lyr Req: Travelin' Man (Pink Anderson)

This request has absolutely nothing to do with that Ricky Nelson song they play on the oldies station. What I'm looking for is an old Pink Anderson blues that I've heard Roy Book Binder do. It hilariously tells the story of a man named Boone whose amazing speed gets him out of all kinds of hair-raising situations. If I wasn't so A) broke B) cheap C) all of the above, I'd buy Roy's CD and get the lyrics the old fashioned way. I've tried the usual lyrics servers and Google to no avail. Anybody have it in their repertoire?

Thanks

Bruce

Thanks Stewie. I remember Roy saying that the song was originally from the minstrel show tradition. His version is a little more politically correct.
