DRIFTING BLUES
by Charles Brown (1945)

[E]I'm drifting and drifting, Just like a ship out on the sea.
[A]I'm drifting and drifting, Just like a ship out on the sea.
[B]Well I ain't got nobody In this world to care for me.

[E]If my baby Would only take me back again.
[A]If my baby Would only take me back again.
[B]feel much better, darling, And at least I'd have a friend.
...

[E]I give you all my money, Tell me what more can I do.
[A]I give you all my money, Tell me what more can I do.
[B]sweet little girl But I know you won't be true.
...

[E]I'm drifting and drifting, Just like a ship out on the sea.
[A]I'm drifting and drifting, Just like a ship out on the sea.
[B]Because I ain't got nobody In this world to care for me.
