Lyrics A Travelin' Man - The New Christy Minstrels

A travelin' man always longs for a home
'Cause a travelin' man is always alone

I've traveled from Maine to the Barbary Shore
But I'm gettin' so weary, I can travel no more

I've rambled the highways and sailed 'cross the sea
Wonderin', always wonderin' where the next stop would be

A travelin' man always longs for a home
'Cause a travelin' man is always alone

Seen the mansions of England, the villas of Rome
Each man has his castle, but the road's been my home

So fair thee well, ladies, there's none quite so fair
But a travelin' man has only one prayer

To be just a farmer with a plow and a hoe
Instead of a drifter with no place to go

A travelin' man always longs for a home
'Cause a travelin' man is always alone

Yes, a travelin' man always longs for a home
'Cause a travelin' man is always alone
