Lyrics                                                           Translation by ajm

All right                                                              Está bien

I've been thumbing rides travelling light        He estado haciendo autostop y viajando lijero
Walked the streets till past midnight            Andado las calles hasta pasada media noche
Tramping roads, trails and lanes                  Pateando carreterascaminos y carriles
Scaling cliffs, fields and plains                     Trepando precipicioscampos y llanuras
Searching till the early dawn                       Buscando hasta el amanecer
For that long legged girl                             Por esa chica de piernas largas

with the short dress on                             llevando el vestido corto

Riding trucks, bikes and skis                       Montando camionesmotos y esquís
Sailing lakes and brooks and seas                Navegando lagosarroyos y mares
Driving wagons, cars and jeeps                   Conduciendo carros, coches y jeeps
Walking stilts in ten foot leaps                    Caminando sobre zancos dando saltos de diez pies
Searching till the early dawn                       Buscando hasta el amanecer
For that long legged girl                             Por esa chica de piernas largas

with the short dress on                              con el vestido corto
And everywhere I go                                 Y a donde voy

she's been and gone                                  ella ha estado y se ha ido
She's fine, it's just too bad                         Ella está bien, simplemente es una mala suerte

she's the travelling kind                              que ella le gusta viajar
So fine, I just can't rest till I                       Así que, no puedo descansar hasta que yo

make her mine                                          la hago mía
I've been from Maine to Tennessee,             He estado de Maine a Tennessee, 

Mexico from Wahkiki                                  Mejico desde Wahkiki
Rain or shine, sleet or snow                        Aunque llueva o salga el solaguanieve o nieve
Searching high, searching low                     Buscando arriba, buscando abajo
Everything depends upon                           Todo depende de
That long legged girl with                           Esa chica de pernas largas

the short dress on                                    llevando el vestido corto
She's fine, it's just too bad

So fine, I just can't rest till

Rain or shine, sleet or snow
Searchin' high, searching low
Everything depends upon                            "                   "              "
That long legged girl
