New Leavin’ Trunk Blues

My leavin’ trunk was always by my side
My leavin’ trunk was always by my side
When my feet got itchin’, I’d grab my trunk and ride

Came into town, my trunk was in my hand
Came into town, my trunk was in my hand
I had no thought of stayin’, always been a trav’lin’ man

But when I saw that woman, walkin’ up the street
Her smile was drivin’ me insane
She looked me in the eye, knocked me off my feet
I couldn’t live without her, that was plain

But when I saw that woman, walkin’ up the street
Her smile was drivin’ me insane
She looked me in the eye, knocked me off my feet
I couldn’t live without her, that was plain

Hadn't seen my trunk in sev’ral years
I hadn't seen my trunk in sev’ral years
Now it caught the train with Baby, left me sittin' here in tears

Now I see my baby walkin’ away from me
My leavin’ trunk is in her hand
Ain’t nothin’ I could say, no way to make her see
She’s leavin’ me a broken man

Spoken: Now, come on, Baby, don’t be like that
Please don’t be treatin’ me this way
Least you could do is give me back my trunk
 
Nuevo blues del baúl de viaje

Mi baúl de viaje siempre estaba a mi lado
Mi baúl de viaje siempre estaba a mi lado
Cuando me picaban los pies, agarraba mi baúl y me marchaba

Entré en la ciudad, mi baúl estaba en mi mano
Entré en la ciudad, mi baúl estaba en mi mano
No pensé en quedarme, siempre he sido un hombre viajero

Pero cuando vi a esa mujer, caminando por la calle
Su sonrisa me estaba volviendo loco
Ella me miró a los ojos, y me derribó
No podría vivir sin ella, eso estaba claro

Pero cuando vi a esa mujer, caminando por la calle
Su sonrisa me estaba volviendo loco
Ella me miró a los ojos, y me derribó
No podría vivir sin ella, eso estaba claro

No había visto mi baúl en varios años
No había visto mi baúl en varios años
Ahora cogió el tren con Baby, me dejó sentado aquí llorando

Ahora veo a mi bebé alejándose de mí
Mi baúl de viaje está en su mano
No hay nada que pueda decir, no hay forma de hacerla ver
Ella me deja un hombre roto

Recitación: Venga, vamos, cariño, no seas así
Por favor no me trates de esta manera
Lo menos que podrías hacer es devolverme mi baúl
