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

If Eddie Van Halen is "American" for the purposes of this thread I'll throw in Ruban Nielson of Unknown Mortal Orchestra

...and I'm going to throw Eric Johnson up there just for kicks to make it 5.

Could just as easily been EVH or Roy Buchanan as my #5.

Ya doesn't have to call him R. Johnson!

You can call him Johnny
Or you can call him Sonny...
