Seaman's Blues Songtext
von Ernest Tubb & Friends

I′m on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low
My good gal's behind me, no lovin′ for so long
I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong


Nights are so lonely on the ocean
There′s to much time to dream of yesterday
If only I could only carry out my notion
Id hit the trail for Texas right away

I never thought when I was leavin′
I could get so blue out on the sea
But It'll bet you after all this grieving
It′s that good old Texas soil for me
