Death went out to the sinner's house
Come and go with me

I ain't got no travelling shoes
Got no travelling shoe
I got no travelling shoe
The sinner cried out, "I ain't ready to go"
I ain't got no travelling shoes

And the death went down to the gambler's house

I got no travelling shoes
I got no travelling shoes
I got no travelling shoes

Got my travelling shoes
