                   E
I'm drifting and drifting
A                            E
Just like a ship out on the sea
                   A
I'm drifting and drifting
                             E
Just like a ship out on the sea
B7
Well I ain't got nobody
A                          E B7
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
