Seaman's Blues

I'm on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico

Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low

My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong

Nights are so lonely on the ocean

There's to much time to dream of yesterday

If only I could only carry out my notion

Id hit the trail for Texas right away

I'm on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico

Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low

My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong

I never thought when I was leavin'

I could get so blue out on the sea

But It'll bet you after all this grieving

It's that good old Texas soil for me

I'm on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico

Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low

My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong
