dolly parton - traveling man lyrics

the man i loved ran a salesman route
selling goods from house to house
now i knew my mama would never stand
for me stepping out with no traveling man
mama bought things that he was a’selling
but mama didn’t know and i sure wasn’t telling
that behind her back i was making plans
to meet somewhere with that traveling man
oh the traveling man was a good bit older
but a girl needs arms to hold her
mama didn’t know ’cause i didn’t told her
but mama wouldn’t understand
me stepping out with a traveling man

mama didn’t allow me a’going courting
and i’d tell lies that i reckon i oughtn’t
oh but she’d a’give me the back a’ her hand
if she’d a’seen me with that traveling man
so i tell my mama that i reckon i oughta
go to the spring and fetch us some water
what mama didn’t know is i had a plan
to meet down there with that traveling man

now i make plans to run away
with that traveling man on a sat-rday
well sat-rday’s here and here i stand
and there goes my mama with that traveling man

oh that traveling man was a two-time lover
he took my love then he took my mother
but i didn’t know ’cause mama didn’t told me and i don’t understand
my mama running off with my traveling man

mama, you know you oughtn’t a’done that
you just like my daddy
he run off before i ever knowed him
you done run-off with my traveling man
and i really don’t think i ever knowed you either
oh there goes my mama with my traveling man
and i’m really gonna miss that traveling man
mm-hm
