"Trav'lin' Light" is a 1942 song composed by Trummy Young and Jimmy Mundy with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. In 1942, with vocals by Billie Holiday, Paul Whiteman hit number one on the Harlem Hit Parade charts for three non consecutive weeks.
I'm trav'lin' light Because my man has gone And from now on I'm trav'lin' light
He said goodbye And took my heart away So from today I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see I'm free as the breeze No one but me And my memories
Some lucky night He may come back again But until then I'm trav'lin' light
{instrumental break}
No one to see I'm free as the breeze No one but me And my memories
Some lucky night He may come back again But until then I'm trav'lin' light
