"Have Love, Will Travel" is a 1959 song written and recorded by Richard Berry.

[1] While the song may have been recorded before the end of 1959, the correct release date appears to be January, 1960.

[2][3] The title is based on a popular television/radio western serial Have Gun, Will Travel.

[citation needed] The Sonics changed the key from G to C, modified the riff (performing it instrumentally, rather than vocally), and (while they used the original chord progression, a basic 1-4-5-4 progression, G-C-D-C in G, or C-F-G-F in C), the modified riff emphasizes cross-relations of minor/major intervals against the keyboard.

[citation needed] A different song by the same title, written by Lee Hazlewood, was released by The Sharps in 1958.
