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.
