+[harmonica solo]
(blow your h+rn!)
i give her all of my money
little johnnie lee just can’t do no more
i give her all everything i had
i just couldn’t do no more, do no more
i believe you a good little girl, a good little girl
but you wouldn’t be true to me
i’m driftin’…
like a ship out on the sea
i’m driftin’ and driftin’
like a ship out on a stormy sea
i ain’t, i ain’t got n0body
in the world to carе for me
goodby baby
baby goodbye, goodbye
goodby baby
baby goodby, goodbyе, baby
baby goodbye, goodbye, baby
you a good little girl, baby
well you, you
you, you…
you, you…
you, you…
won’t be true to me
