by

recording of probably 1926-1932
from
Ragtime Guitar's Foremost Fingerpicker (Yazoo 1068)
All my life I've been a travelin' man
All my life I've been a travelin' man
Stayin' alone and doin' the best I can
I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee
I shipped my trunk down to Tennessee
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, said she didn't like my kind
I'm scared to bother around her house at night
I'm scared to bother around her house at night
She got a police dog cravin' for a fight
His name is Rambler, when he gets a chance
His name is Rambler, when he gets a chance
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants
Guess I'll travel, I guess I'll let her be
Guess I'll travel, I guess I'll let her be
Before she sicks
her police dog on me

Note 1: sicks or sic, alteration of seek. Chase or attack, usually used as a command especially to a dog "sic 'em!".
