"Seaman's Blues" lyrics

"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
