Seaman's Blues (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

The seaman blues

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

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


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

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

Well, 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 loving for so long
I′m going back to Texas, 'cause that′s where I belong

Texas blues or the seaman blues
That's a little above
That′s Texas, seaman blues
You got some New Year-
