Travelling Drummer |
| I am a travelling drummer |
| I live out on the road |
| I sell my goods from door to door |
| To lighten up my load, boys, lighten up my load |
| I used to be a fireman |
| Out on the county line |
| But the town took over ten of us |
| And fired us all but nine, boys, fired us all but nine |
| I had a wife and family |
| In a home in Chamberlain |
| But she ran off with a factory hand |
| And I never went back again, boys, never went back again |
| Some time when I get lonely |
| And nights get over long |
| I’ll find an all-night bar girl |
| And I’ll take her home at dawn, boys, take her home at dawn |
| I’ll find myslf a cheap hotel |
| When I gt into town |
| A bottle of gin and a lumpy bed |
| To lay my body down, boys, lay my body down |
| I’d like to give up drummin' |
| But I’m too old to try |
| If nobody makes me a millionaire |
| I’ll travel 'til I die, boys, travel 'til I die |
