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 care for me

Goodby baby

Baby goodbye, goodbye

Goodby baby

Baby goodby, goodbye, 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
