Drifter
>
Well I'm drifting and drifting
Drifting from town to town
Well I'm drifting and drifting
Drifting from town to town
Well I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me

If my baby would only
Take me back again
Hey hey, my baby ... would only take me back again
I ain't got nobody don't cha know
LIn the world who’ll care for me

Looka here...

-[Harmonica solo]

(Blow your horn!)

I give her all of my money
Little Johnnie Lee just can’t do no more
I give her all everything I had
I just couldn’t do no more, do no more
I believe you a good little girl, a good little girl
But you wouldn't be true to me
I'm driftin'...
Like a ship out on the sea
I'm driftin' and driftin'
Like a ship out on a stormy sea
I ain't, I ain't got nobody
In the world to carе for me


Goodby baby
Baby goodbye, goodbye
Goodby baby

Baby goodby, goodbyе, baby
Baby goodbye, goodbye, baby

You a good little girl, baby
Well you, you
You, you…
You, you…
You, you…
Won’t be true to me
