I'm a travelin' man
, I've made a lot of stops all over the world.
 6   6 -6 6    5  5  5   -4   4   -4 -4   5    5   -4 -4   4
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl.

  5  6  -6 6   6 5 6 -6   5  6   -6  6   4   4  5   6-6 6
I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me
down in old Mexico.
 6    6   -6 6  6 5 5 -4   5   -4  4  -4   5   5  5  -4-4 4
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo.

-6 -7   7    -7  -6   -7   7  -7 -6   6   -6   -6   -6    6   -5   6
Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
makes my heart start to yearn.
 -6 -7  7 -7  -6   -7   7  -7  -6    6   -6    -6  6 -5  6
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return.

 5  6  -6 6 6  5  6 -6  5 6  -6  6  4  4 5  6   -6   6
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night.
  6   6   -6    6  6    5    5  5   5 -4 4  -4 -4  5   5  -4 -4   4
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki and I held you oh so tight.

Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
makes my heart start to yearn.

Wo, I'm a trav'lin' man   Wo, I'm a trav'lin' man    (and fade...)
