Travelin’ Man by Viking Cowboy

“Travelin’ Man“ is an American popular song, best known as a 1961 hit single sung by Ricky Nelson. Singer-songwriter Jerry Fuller wrote it with Sam Cooke in mind, but Cooke’s manager was unimpressed and did not keep the demo, which eventually wound up being passed along to Nelson. His version reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was released as a double A-side with “Hello Mary Lou“, which reached No. 9 on the same chart.[1] In the United Kingdom, “Travelin’ Man“, coupled with “Hello Mary Lou“, reached No. 2, becoming Nelson’s biggest UK hit. Nelson is accompanied on the recording by the vocal quartet, The Jordanaires. --------------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
