Well, I'm drifting and drifting
Like a ship out on the sea
And I've been drifting and drifting, baby
Drifting just like a ship out on the sea
Oh, and you know
I ain't got nobody now, baby
In this great big world
To care for me
If my baby would only
Take me back again
I wish my, my, my, my baby
Would stop fooling around
And take me back again
Well, you know, you know
I messed around out here
Now, baby, yeah, let me tell you
I don't even have no friend
I gave you all of my money, baby
Tell me what more can I do
Lord, after I gave you
All of my money, baby
Pray tell me, what more can I do
Like a ship out on the sea
And I've been drifting and drifting, baby
Drifting just like a ship out on the sea
Oh, and you know
I ain't got nobody now, baby
In this great big world
To care for me
If my baby would only
Take me back again
I wish my, my, my, my baby
Would stop fooling around
And take me back again
Well, you know, you know
I messed around out here
Now, baby, yeah, let me tell you
I don't even have no friend
I gave you all of my money, baby
Tell me what more can I do
Lord, after I gave you
All of my money, baby
Pray tell me, what more can I do
