Police Dog Blues

All my life I've been a traveling man
All my life I've been a traveling man
Staying alone and doing the best I can
I hauled my trunk down to Tennessee
I hauled my trunk down to Tennessee
It's hard to tell about a man like me

I met a gal I couldn't get her off my mind
I met a gal I couldn't get her off my mind
She passed me up saying she didn't like my kind
I was scared to bother 'round her house at night
I was scared to bother 'round her house at night
She's got a police dog and he's spoiling for a fight

His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants
Yes, I think I'll travel, I think I'll let her be
I think I'll travel, I think I'll let her be
Before she sicks that police dog on me
Before she sicks that doggone dog on me
