I left one spring under trees a bloomin’
Air so sweet; birds did sing
Said goodbye to home an’ family
Seeking fortunes wilder dreams

Summer came under the sunshine
Fortunes charms almost mine
Missed not home, nor lovin’ family
Spent my days with the stranger kind

I am a seasoned traveler
Far from home an’ family of mine
Yes, a seasoned traveler
Been all the way to Californe from Caroline

Fall found me tired upon a hillside
Lookin’ cross valley wide
I thought of home an’ dear, sweet family
My mother’s pecan pie

That crisp night I dreamt of travelin’
Back to my country home
To see my tender, lovin’ family
Sweetest dream I’ve ever known

I am a seasoned traveler
Far from home an’ family of mine
Yes, a seasoned traveler
Been all the way to Californe from Caroline

Now winter’s come, the leaves have fallen
Fortune’s took all I had to give
I miss my family
I’m a’goin’ home to them

I returned one cold, dark midnight
Barely a soul under me
To the arms of faithful family
Alielu, Blessings

I’m a seasoned traveler
Far from home and family of mine
Yes, a seasoned traveler
Been all the way to Californe from Caroline
