hey, travelin’ woman, where you been?
you play that mandolin?
wandering here
why i don’t see you ever’ year?
travelin’ woman, whatchu done seen?
why, you can’t be more’n eighteen!
wandering there
you sellin’ them wares?
travelin’ woman, whatchu been doin?
you gotcha some tattooin'?
wandering everwhere
you seem to dance on air!
travelin’ woman
twisting on yur purty gold fan
all them bracelets danglin’ jinglejanglin'
skirts blowin’ in the wind
long black hair standin’ on end
lips like big round tangerines
hips swayin’ to the tamborine

Lovely words Jenean.You must wake up with your creative side of the brain in full throttle.
Love the sound of this. It reads like a song - part gypsy part country. Very original, and just sings to my heart!
