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.
