The Travellin Man Returns by Dave Walmsley from Barrow-in-furness United Kingdom

the travellin' man returns (7.05)
written, arranged & performed by dave walmsley (c) 2025 silent songs
a short cat production of a heavy folk recording...

when i recently uploaded the original version of “travellin' man” it was digitally remastered/cleaned up from a cassette that dated back to the early 90s. there were issues with the mix which i wasn't able to do anything about so i decided to start from scratch and completely rewrite the song only keeping the original lyrics. dw

came to town with my wagons and my guns...
left my heart buried deep between the hills and the plains...
looked for gold across the mountains of the east..
found nothing but a handful of stone dust and heat...

oh oh oh (oh oh oh) oh oh oh oh oh...

turned around thought i heard you my name...
no matter how hard i try everything i do is in vain...
all the blood sweat and tears that i cried for you...
like a shadow from the past like a bullet out of the blue...

oh oh oh (oh oh oh) oh oh oh oh oh...

over the years...
i walked a long and lonely road...
to bring me back to where we began...

travellin' man takes a long time coming home...
travellin' man takes a long long long long time...
