Ricky Nelson - Travelin' Man 1961

Ricky Nelson - Travelin' Man 1961

Lyrics:
I'm a travelin' man
and I've made a lotta stops
all over the world
And in every port
I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty senorita
waitin' for me down in old Mexico
And if you're ever in Alaska
stop and see my cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet fräulien
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 sands 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
Woe, I'm a travelin' man

He died in a plane crash in 1985. R.I.P. :(

[Enlightened Negro]

he was such a handsome young man... its a shame he had to die that way.

[Martin Taylor]

This edit leaves out James Burton's great guitar solo. Just as Lennon and McCartney combined both sweet and acidic, James gave Ricky the "bite' needed to make great records. Elvis went on to employ James for many years afterwards.

Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky.....what a wonderful example of a typical American family of the early TV days! I miss those simple times.
