Travelin’ Man

I just want to tell you bout a man name Coon
His home was in Tennessee
He made his living stealing chickens
And everything that he could see
That popeyed man he run so fast
His feet couldn’t stay in the road
When a freight train pass
No matter how fast he’d always get on board

He was a travelin’ man
Certain was a travelin’ man
He was the travelin’est man
Was ever in the land
He travel, and known for miles around
He didn’t get caught, didn’t give up
Til the police shot him down

Well the police hide in an automobile
On purpose to chase old coon
He running from 6 o’clock in the morning til 7 in the afternoon
That popeyed man he run so fast til fire came from his heel
He burn up the cotton and he scorched the corn
He cut a road through the farmer’s field

He said I’m a travelin’ man
Certain was a travelin’ man
travelin’est man
Was ever in the land
He travel, and known for miles around
But he didn’t get caught, didn’t give up
Til the police shot him down

Well the police shot him with a rifle
And the bullet went through his head
All the people they came from miles around
To see the man was dead
They telegrammed down south to his mother
She’s all carried away in tears
She walked up an opened up the coffin lid
And that fool had disappeared

He said I’m a travelin’ man
Certain was a travelin’ man
travelin’est man
Was ever in the land
He travel, and known for miles around
But he didn’t get caught, didn’t give up
Til the police shot him down

This man was on the Titanic ship
And it was sinking down
Sitting out on a towel
With his head hung down
When this boy jumped overboard
Everybody said he was a fool
And about three minutes after that
He was shooting dice over in Liverpool

He said I’m a travelin’ man
Certain was a travelin’ man
travelin’est man
What ever in the land
He travel, boys he was known for miles around
He didn’t get caught, didn’t give up
Til the police shot him down

This boy he went to the spring one day
To get a pail of water
The distance the rascal had to go
Was about 2 miles and a quarter
He got there got his water
And when he started back
He stumbled and fell down
But he went to the house and got him another bucket
Caught the water ‘fore it hit the ground

Now you know he was a travelin’ man
That certain was a travelin’ man, talk about it
travelin’est man
Was ever in the land
You know he travel, boys he was known for miles around
He didn’t get caught, didn’t give up
Til the police shot him down
