woman put a curse on me
Well a woman put a curse on me.
Pointed with the bones of her finger.
Said, “From now on the only visions you will see
Will cause you to not linger”.
I am a traveling man, I am.
Travelin’ is what I do.
I do believe I’ll have seen it all
Before my travelin’ days are through.
To see it all for the rest of your days
With no chance to taste its sweetness.
What can be worse than not to stay
And never know completeness?
What did I do to you my dear
For you to curse me so?
I am still waiting to hear.
I still want to know.
Did I kill your moon and your sun?
Or was it something that I should have done?
Did I break your heart or kill a dream?
Did I depart too soon it seemed?
It is too late for me to know
It is my fate to always go.
Before the answer is made clear.
“Oh darling we were once so near”.
I am a traveling man, I am.
Travelin’ is what I do.
I do believe I’ll have seen it all
Before my travelin’ days are through.
I am a traveling man, I am.
Travelin’ is what I do.
I do believe I’ll have seen it all
And it all will be new.
