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.
