Drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
As I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me

If my baby would only take me back again
If my baby, if my baby would only take me back again
I would feel much better and at least I'd have a friend

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
Drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea
'Cause I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me, oh no
