Gotta Travel On Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

I've laid around and played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone winter's comin' on 

I've laid around and played around this old town too long 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

High sheriff and police are ridin' after me ridin' after me oh they're ridin' after me 

High sheriff and police are ridin' after me and I feel like I've gotta travel on 

Papa writes to Johnny Johnny can't come home 

No Johnny can't come home ahah Johnny can't come home 

Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home 

Cause he's been on that chain gang too long 

Gotta see my baby gotta see her bad gotta see her bad oh I gotta see her bad 

Gotta see my baby gotta see her bad she's the best friend this poor boy ever had 

I've laid around and played around... 

Oh I feel like I've gotta travel on oh I feel like I've gotta travel on
