Ray Charles - Drifting Blues lyrics

rate me

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 hm

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 hm

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

{guitar solo}

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, now

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)
