Ricky Nelson - Travelin' Man 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
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo
Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea
When we walked in the sand of Waikiki
And I held you, oh, so tight
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sand of Waikiki
And I held you, oh, so tight
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Whoa, I'm a travelin' man

Ricky Nelson Travelin' Man Comments
Great song, horrible connotations. Das a travellin' dick
By far my favorite song to sing all the time. If you wanderer around in life you know what this song is about.
If I could look like anybody it would be Ricky ...
That man gets around and knows how to get around if you know what I mean
Who would have thought that Ozzie Nelson is responsible for what just may be the first music video.
nice memories
Ricky Nelson will be remembered as a cool guy😎. His music was melting the girls back in the young day's. He's traveled on to a better place now. RIP Mr Ricky Nelson.
He was never given the credit he deserved for his music. A lot of that was because he was so good looking. Unlike women, being a really good looking man can be a disadvantage.
But the biggest factor in him having a rough and short life was that his wife Kris (sadly), was absolutely nuts.
This is the 60s version of saying I got a lot hoes😂😂
What a handsome man...💓💓
ughhhh 😍
Didn't he play in a western with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum?
Still listening to this song thanks Rick sure do miss your sweet voice
When we walk through the sands of wakkii and i held you oh so tight! God i LOVE that! : )
We’re Still Here 2019
Great Tune
now there's a star
I heard this song in the movie “Dogfight” with River Phoenix, everyone should check that movie out, it’s truly a hidden gem
This was my favorite Ricky Nelson recording, ever. And listen the great Jordanaires singing in the background, the same ones who sang with Elvis, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Don McLean, and Johnny Cash. Oh, and by the way, he was bad looking, either.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE
For sure I'm still listening at 66 but there's a lot of good new stuff out there too if you look for it.
66 huh? Any advice life advice for a young man?
Me and my grandpa love singing this song
Beautiful and talented.
I have a cassette in my car of Ricky rerecording his songs must have been done not long before he died
Muito bom.parabens.brezil.
Super Cool White Boy in my book. I love this song. I've grown to be a traveling man myself Ricky...R.I.P., My brother...
Race mixing faggot
je suis née en 61 et je m'appelle Riky à cause de mon frère (15 ans de plus) qui à dit de l'appeler Riky (Sacramento CA 1961)

This song was originally offered to Sam Cooke who rejected it.
He is better than elvis
One of best male voices in music
at 1:30, the first ever music video.
God rest Mr. Ricky Nelson's soul, Amen?
My Big Sis had all of Rick's records and played them all the time...in '61, I was 10 and she was in her Junior year...Now she's in a nursing home and doesn't know who I am...still can't get over this time passage thing and dealing with a changing world...this song brings back so many memories...He's been gone 34 years this coming December 31, 2019...Rest In Peace Rick ...
LOVE Ricky Nelson. RIP. Beautiful song. Beautiful time. Beautiful man.💕
I loved this song when it first aired on the Ozzie and Harriet show. It is rumored to be one of the first music videos. Mike Nesmith says he says his was first, and Ozzie says this was first I think if we look at the date, this one came out first, and Mike's was second. You were such a good singer. I thought you were a creep, when you were younger, Ricky. You were so mean to Dave. I am glad you changed, Ricky, and became dreamy when you got older. I still love you and your music.
Who’s here because of the Toyota commercial
I just learned of this song over a old school music radio station lastnight. Pure art. Love it.
The music of my childhood....nearly 60 years ago.
So he had pussy waiting in every port.
YouTube is a family That stays put.
AWESOME
Hes so underated
Gostei muito!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Takes me back. Youth hostelling in Scotland and singing this non stop.
Great songs like this make SJW heads explode.
His songs weren't all that jazzy or exciting, but they made you feel good.
Great memories, the Nelsons family values
Generation. X, Y , Z...Whatever it may be, dont let this song be forgotten!
Me too
HOT Ricky, RIGHTLY claimed to have LAID c.3K HOT Chix - Rockin '56 thru Swingin' 60s!!
This was the show to watch when the street lights came on, we ran home to watch Ozzie& Harriet.
Jay z done stole this tune
All his song are the best to listen to. Very Classy Tune!
Those dreamy eyes are everything, no wonder why girls loved him.
Rip 1940 1985 plane crash
שיר מקסים תודה
Should have been called American Gigolo 😎
This is both racist and not
Racist? No. Sexist? Yes.
One of my old time fav's
i'm 51 and have always loved this song. today it would be considered racist.
silence boomer
Darn ... he goes everywhere but Africa :/
One of those songs, when you listen to the words.. what a bastard..
this the kind of music you fall in love to.
my favorite is "an itty-bitty tear let medown"
why the fuck does this have 1 thousand dislikes
Chris Evans, Eat Your Heart
Out
He Be A Biopic Of Ricky Compare Them
Goodness was he beautiful
My grandma showed me Ricky Nelson...she use to dance with her husband to his songs in high school...they divorced recently
Wishing and praying for her♡
Uh...cool Ricky Nelson ! 😆
Hey I’m 17 just an Illinois boy holding to some good ass music, if anyone older is reading just know this era of music isn’t going away I promis
That's good because the music u like started with Ricky ( that's what he was called on a sitcom called Ozzie & Harriet they were a real life family)
you got good taste young man.
When music was good
TOYOTA COMMERCIAL BROUGHT ME HERE SEPTEMBER 2019. THIS IS PURE CLASSIC MUSIC 💕💖💕
A great singer
Dance,dance,dance....MURAKAMI
24 yrs left to live 😢😥😢💔💔💔
jazeker toppie mijn jeugd
no African girl haha
THEY WAS WORLD OF THE GREAT CLASSIC WITH CULTURE MAN AND WOMAN
I grew up loving Ricky as a kid! Wow, he was so handsome!
I love the deep backup singing
But, BOO-Hiss ... No James Burton lead.
Can’t lie, I heard this song in some car commercial but I absolutely love it. I really like older pop like this, if anyone could give me song or artist recommendations that sound like this I’d really appreciate it!
The song was first offered to my idol sam cooke but at the time sam had just released chain gang and was promoting that song and sam turned it down. Actually as the story goes it was in the garbage can in Sam's office and ricky's manager saw it and asked if he could have it and the rest is history
I would have absolutely loved to have heard Sam do the song but Ricky killed it and made it into a legendary spine tingling classic
A very pretty song, I think it is my Ricky fav, that or Poor Little Fool. I used to sing Traveling man while doing duty at sea on a YAG
brings back memories
Love this tune. How could 1K not like it???
forget about them. just a bunch of brain-dead idiots!
So good!
Heard this on a commercial, thank God I did
"Im a travelin man I made alot of stonks."
Ozzie and Harriet Show, yes in black in white TV. Always tried to watch the show back in those days.
What lips.
Everyone's talking about how awesome the music is and how handsome he is, which is all true, but we all gonna ignore the lyrics are just "I fuck women everywhere, they all think they're my family"?
Yep. :)
Who here from watching Rio Bravo? Colorada
While all the other girls were drooling over Elvis Presley my mother was in love with Ricky Nelson. ...
Those years with this music was tops compared to those today!!
unvergessen ..Melodie geht mir seit 58 jahren nicht aus dem Kopf
i hope to have a travel job in the future
I love you Denny! Waiting for you alone and only you can make my dreams come true!
