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
I got rambling
I got rambling all on my mind
I got rambling
I got rambling all on my mind
I hates to leave my baby
But she treats me so unkind

I got mean things
I got mean things all on my mind
I got mean things
I got mean things all on my mind
I hates to leave my baby
But she treats me so unkind

I'm going down to the station
Catch the fastest train I see
I'm going down to the station
Catch the fastest train I see
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so
And her son's got the blues about me

I got rambling
I got rambling all on my mind
I got rambling
I got rambling all on my mind
I hates to leave my baby
But she treats me so unkind
