Never Got the Best of Me Songtext
von Southern Tenant Folk Union

Far away in darkest moonlight
On that boat up on that sea
Sails away my only true love

Never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me
No you never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me

Now nothing ties me to this home
So I am bound to follow you
West wind blows my only chance
Take me across the seas to you
Take me across the seas


Singing you never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me

Now the sky is black and never ends
Like the longing sound that fills my heart
I keep the words I could have sent
′Til I know I've found you
Until I have found you

No you never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me
Never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me
Never got the best of me lord
Never got the best of me
