Traveling Man

Dolly Parton

Mm, hmm, mm, hmm

The man I loved ran a salesman route
Selling goods from house to house (mm, hmm)
And I knew my mama would never stand
For me stepping out with no traveling man

My mama bought things that he was a'selling
But mama didn't know and I sure wasn't telling
That behind her back I was making my plans
To meet somewhere with that traveling man (mm, hmm)

Oh, the traveling man was a good bit older
But a girl needs arms to hold her
And mama didn't know 'cause I didn't told her
But mama wouldn't understand
Me stepping out with a traveling man

Mama didn't allow me a'going courting
And I'd tell lies that I reckon I oughtn't
Oh, but she'd a'give me the back a' her hand
If she'd a'seen me with that traveling man (mm, hmm)

So I tell my mama that I reckon I oughta
Go to the spring and fetch us some water
But what mama didn't know is I had a plan
To meet down there with that traveling man

Now I make plans to run away
With that traveling man on a Saturday
Well, Saturday's here and here I stand
And there goes my mama with that traveling man (mm, hmm)

Oh, that traveling man was a two-time lover
He took my love, then he took my mother
But I didn't know 'cause mama didn't told me and I don't understand
My mama running off with my traveling man

(Mm, hmm) traveling man

Mammy, you know you oughtn't a'done that
You just like my daddy
He run off before I ever knowed him
You done run-off with my traveling man
And I really don't think I ever knowed you, either
Oh, there goes my mama with my traveling man
I'm really gonna miss that traveling man
Mm, hmm, mm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
