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 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.
