Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm trav'lin' light
Because my man has gone
So from now on
I'm trav'lin' light
[Verse 2]
He said goodbye
And took my heart away
So from today
I'm trav'lin' light
[Verse 3]
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
[Verse 4]
Some lucky night
He may come back again
So until then
I'm trav'lin' light
[Verse 5]
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
[Verse 6]
Some lucky night
He may come back again
So until then
I'm trav'lin' light
Written by: Jimmy Mundy, Johnny Mercer, Trummy Young
