Well, I'm driftin' and driftin' like a ship out on the sea 

Yes, I'm driftin' and driftin' like a ship out on the sea 

Ah, you know I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me 



Ah, if my baby would only take me back again 

Mm, if my baby would only take me back again 

Well, you know I ain't good for nothin', darlin', and I haven't got a friend 



Please come back, baby, baby, please come back home 

Please come back home, baby, baby, please come back home 

I wanna show you just how much I love you, and how it feels to be alone
