Mama didn’t know because I didn’t told her but mama wouldn’t understand: N.C. me stepping out with a traveling man. [Interlude] B      X4 [Verse 2] Mama didn’t allow me going courting and I’d tell lies that I reckon I oughtn’t.     Oh but she’d give me the back her hand if she’d seen me with that traveling man.          So I tell my mama that I reckon I ought to go to the spring and fetch us some water.        What mama didn’t know is: I had a plan to meet down there with that traveling man.          [Verse 3] Now I make plans to run away with that traveling man on a Saturday.          Well Saturday’s here and here I stand and there goes my mama with that traveling man.          [Chorus] Oh that traveling man was a two-time lover he took my love then he took my mother. But I didn’t know because my mama didn’t tell me and I don’t understand:    N.C. my mama running off with my traveling man. [Outro] Mmm. Mama you know you oughtn’t done that you just like my daddy: he run off before I ever know him. You done run-off with my traveling man and I really don’t think I ever know you either. Oh there goes my mama with my traveling man and I’m really going to miss that traveling man. Mm-hm

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui tombe amoureuse d'un homme voyageur, malgré l'opposition de sa mère. Elle cache sa relation et ment à sa mère sur ses véritables intentions, sachant que celle-ci n'accepterait pas un homme de passage. Au fur et à mesure, elle élabore des plans pour le rencontrer, mais finalement, la situation se complique lorsque sa mère se dévoile en partant elle aussi avec cet homme. Ce retournement de situation amène un mélange de tristesse et de confusion pour la narratrice, qui se rend compte qu'elle perd à la fois son amour et le lien avec sa mère. C'est une réflexion poignante sur l'amour, le secret et les relations familiales.
