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
