Traveling Blues by Edmonia Henderson Lyrics

[Verse]
Feeling blue, almost dying
It's about [?]‚ ain't denying
Every day seems wrong since you've been gone
I am trying to forget you
Feel like crying‚ indeed I do
Listen while I sing this lonesome song

[Chorus]
Traveling blues‚ traveling blues have overtaken me
Catch a boat and sail far, far away across the sea
Buy me a ticket 23 feet long
Don't believe I'm goin' count the days I'm gone
I've got those mean old lowdown traveling blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Traveling blues, traveling blues have overtaken me
Catch a boat and sail far‚ far away across the sea
My daddy's gone but I won't wear no black
Then he gets broken down, and now you come slow dragging back
He keeps me moanin' those lowdown traveling blues
