Baby I'm driftin', driftin' on a lonesome sea
Baby I'm driftin', driftin' on a lonesome sea
Sailed this wild world over
Ain't a soul as low as me
Baby I'm waiting, waiting for my ship to come in
Baby I'm waiting, waiting for my ship to come in
Wanna ride that tugboat, powered by a steam engine
Baby I'm sailin', where the sun falls in the sea
Baby I'm sailin', where the sun falls in the sea
Makes them waves a-shimmer but that sun will never shine on me
Baby I'm dreamin', dreamin' of my fortune and fame
Baby I'm dreamin, dreamin' of my fortune and fame
But when I'm a-waking not a soul here knows me name
Baby I'm driftin', driftin' on a lonesome sea
