DRIFTIN BLUES - CHARLES BROWN 1946 1. Well, I'm drifting and I'm drifting - Like a ship out on the sea Drifting and I'm drifting - Baby, like a ship out on the sea Well, I ain't got nobody - In this world, to care for me 2. If my baby - Would only take me back again If my baby - Would only take me back again 'Cause, darling's good for nothing - And, I haven't got a friend - solos 3. I give you all my money - Tell me what more can I do, I give you all my money - Tell me what more can I do, You just a good little girl - And I know You won't be true Bye bye, baby - Baby, bye bye, bye Bye bye, baby - Baby, bye bye, bye It's gonna be too late, baby ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DRIFTIN BLUES - CHARLES BROWN 1946 Paul Butterfield version: 1.Well, I'm drifting and I'm drifting - Like a ship out on the sea Drifting and I'm drifting - Baby, like a ship out on the sea Every now and then I wonder, Does that little girl even care for me..."I wonder" 2. You know I travelled - people such a long way from home x 2 I didn't mistreat nobody - I didn't do nobody wrong SOLOS...later with stops! 3. I'm still drifting and I'm drifting - Like a ship out on the sea x 2 Every now and then I wonder, Does that little girl even care for me..."I wonder"
