Drifting Blues Songtext
von Ray Charles

Whoa, I′m so lonesome baby, now
I am in a travelin' mood, yes I am
Whoa, I′m so lonesome now now, honey
I tell ya I am in a travelin' mood, um hmm

Guess I'll have to hop a freight to California
Cause I′ve got the travelin′ blues, yes I have

Sometime I feel like walkin', now now
Well I have no walkin′ shoes, no, no
Well, sometime I feel like walkin', now now
I tell you I got no walkin′ shoes, do you believe me?

That's why I′ve got to hop a freight to California
Cause I've got the travelin' blues, um hmm

Cause I keep drifting and drifting
Like a ship out on the sea
I keep drifting and drifting, now
Like a ship out on the sea, well
You see I ain′t got no, nobody
In this world to care for me


If my baby, if my baby
Would only take me back again
Oh now if my baby now
Uh, would only take me back again
Well I may not be good for nothing, baby
But you see I haven′t got no friends

Play it, son

I'll give you all my money, now
Tell me what more can I do, I wanna know
(just give some more, just give some more, just give some more)
I′ll give you all my money, little girl
Tell me what more can I do, I've got to know
(just give some more, just give some more, just give some more)
Well you may be a good little girl sometime
But you just won′t be true

Bye-bye baby, now
Baby, bye-bye bye-bye (bye baby, bye-bye baby)
Bye-bye baby, yeah
Baby, bye-bye bye-bye (bye baby, bye-bye baby)

Well it's too late to worry, I want you to know
I said, oh, it′s too late to cry (cry, cry, cry, no more)
