I'm drifting and drifting,

Just like a ship out on the sea.

I'm drifting and drifting,

Just like a ship out on the sea.

Well I ain't got nobody

In this world to care for me.

If my baby

Would only take me back again.

If my baby

Would only take me back again.

I would feel much better, darling,

And at least I'd have a friend.

I give you all my money,

Tell me what more can I do.

I give you all my money,

Tell me what more can I do.

You is a sweet little girl

But I swear you won't be true.

I'm drifting and drifting,

Just like a ship out on the sea.

I'm drifting and drifting,

Just like a ship out on the sea.

Because I ain't got nobody

In this world to care for me.
