Lyrics

I'm a travelin' man

Made a lot of stops all over the world

And in every port I own the heart

Of at least one lovely girl


I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me

Down in old Mexico

If you're ever in Alaska stop and see

My cute little Eskimo


Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town

Makes my heart start to yearn

And my China doll down in old Hong Kong

Waits for my return


Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea

I remember the night

When we walked in the sand of Waikiki

And I held you, oh, so tight


[Instrumental Interlude]


Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town

Makes my heart start to yearn

And my China doll down in old Hong Kong

Waits for my return


Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea

I remember the night

When we walked in the sand of Waikiki

And I held you, oh, so tight


Oh, I'm a travelin' man

Yes, I'm a travelin' man

Yes, I'm a travelin' man

Whoa, I'm a travelin' man
