Drifting Blues

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, hmm

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, hmm

'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

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

Well, it's too late to worry

I want you to know

I said, oh, it's too late to cry

Ray Charles

Hit the road Jack

 

 

- Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more. Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more!

 

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,

You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I guess if you say so

I have to pack ma things and go.

- Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more. Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more!

 

Well baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way

Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.

 

- Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood. you ain't got no money you just ain't no good

Well, I guess if you say so, I'd have to pack my things and go.
