Verse 1
I (G major) just (A flatdim) (D major) (E major) (D major) want to
tell you about a man named
Coon.
(G major) His home was in
Tenness (D major) ee.
He made his living stealing chickens and
everything (E major) that he could see. (D major)
That
Popeye the man, he'd run so fast,
his (G major) feet could have stayed in the (D major) road.
On a (G major) freight train pass, (D major) no matter how fast,
(E major) he'd always get (D major) on the boat.
He was a traveling man,
Sid (G major) was a traveling man. (D major)
He's one of the travelest
men was ever (E major) in the land. (D major)
He traveled, (G major) and known from all (D major) around.
He (G major) didn't get caught, did (D major) n't give up,
till the po (E major) lice shot (D major) him down. (G major) (D major) (E major) (D major)
Well, the police hired him an automobile,
(G major) a pub with a chase (D major) -hole crew.
He runnin' from six o 'clock in the
mornin' till (E major) seven in the afternoon
(D major) That
Popeye man, he run so fast a
fire (G major) came from his heel (D major)

He said I'm a traveling man
Said (G major) I'm a traveling man (D major)
The traveler's man was
a (E major) devil in the land (D major)
He'd travel and (G major) known
some miles (D major) around
But he (G major) didn't give up till (D major) (E major) the police
shot (D major) him down (G major) (D major) (E major) (D major)
While the police shot him with a rifle and a bullet
(G major) went through his (D major) head, all the people
that came from miles around to (E major) see the man was dead,
(D major) the telegram down south says,
Mother,
she's all (G major) carried away (D major) in tears.
She walked (G major) in the house and (D major) opened up the
coffin lid (A major) and (B major) that fool (E major) had (A major) disap (D major) peared.
He said I'm a traveling man,
he (G major) said I'm a traveling man (D major)
The travelest man (B major) was ever (E major) in the land (D major)
He traveled and known (G major) for miles (D major) around
But he (G major) didn't get caught, (D major) didn't give up
Till (E major) that police shot (D major) him down (G major) (D major) (E major) (D major)
This man was on the
Titanic ship, (G major) and it was sinking down,
(D major) sitting out on a tile with (E major) his head hung down. (D major)
When this boy jumped overboard,
every (G major) body said (D major) he was a fool.
And about (G major) three minutes after that, (D major)
he was shoot (B major) ing (E major) dice over in (A major)
Liver (D major) pool.
He said, a traveling man's son
(G major) was a dowry man. (D major)
Traveling land, (B major) whatever (E major) in the land. (D major)
He traveled, boys,
he was (G major) known from mile (D major) to round.
He (G major) didn't get caught, did (D major) n't give up,
till the po (E major) lice shot (D major) him down. (G major) (D major) (E major) (D major)
This boy he went to the spring (D major) one
day to (G major) get a pail of (D major) water.
The distance the
rascal had to go was about (E major)
two miles and a quarter. (A major)
He (D major) got there and got a water
when he started back.
He (G major) stumbled and fell down, (D major)
but he went (G major) to the house and got
(D major) up another bucket,
(B major) caught the water before it (G major) hit the ground.
(D major) Now you know he was a
Travelling man, that
Sid (G major) ney was a travelling man.
(D major) Talk about him, man.
Traveller's man,
was never (E major) in the land. (D major)
(E major) You know he'd travel. (D major)
Boy, he was (G major) known from mile (D major) around.
He didn't (G major) get caught, did (D major) n't give up,
till that police (E major) shot (D major) him down. (G major) (D major) (E major) (D major)
