The man I loved ran a salesman route, selling goods from house to house.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Now, I knew my mama would never stand for me stepping out with no traveling man.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
My mama bought things that he was a'selling but mama didn't know and I sure wasn't telling
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
that behind her back I was making my plans to meet somewhere with that traveling man.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Oh, the traveling man was a good bit older
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
but a girl needs arms to hold her.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Mama didn't know because I didn't told her
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
but mama wouldn't understand:
N.C.
me stepping out with a traveling man.

Mama didn't allow me going courting and I'd tell lies that I reckon I oughtn't.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Oh, but she'd give me the back her hand if she'd seen me with that traveling man.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
So, I tell my mama that I reckon I ought to go to the spring and fetch us some water.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
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.
ch]B[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Well, Saturday's here and here I stand and there goes my mama with that traveling man.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Oh, that traveling man was a two-time lover,
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
he took my love then he took my mother.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I didn't know because my mama didn't tell me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
and I don't understand:
N.C.
my mama running off with my traveling man.
Outro

ch]B[/ch

ch]B[/ch

ch]B[/ch
