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

I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away

I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
That near you, I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny

I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever

I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love

I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love

A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
