Harry Belafonte Gotta Travel On Lyrics

Gotta Travel On Lyrics

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

summer's almost
gone, yes, winter's coming on.

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

And I feel like I've gotta travel on.



Poppa
writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home.

Johnny can't come home, no,
Johnny can't come home.

Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come
home,

'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long.



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

summer's almost gone,
yes, winter's coming on.

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

And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
