John Lee Hooker – I'm Wanderin' lyrics

(John Lee Hooker)

I been driftin', like a ship out on the foam
I been driftin', like a ship out on the foam
Well, I ain't got nobody, in the world to care for me

If my baby would only take me back again
Oh, take me back again
'cause I ain't got nobody to speak a word for me

Hmm, won't you give me one more chance?
Hmm, won't you give me one more chance?
'cause I ain't got nobody, baby, to speak a word for me
No, but I ain't

I declare I ain't got nobody, babe
Honey chile, to speak a word for me
I, I, babe, I'm a big world for myself
Oh, yeah, honey chile, I'm by myself
I'm way down here, babe
Way, way down here, babe, honey chile, by myself
Hmm, hmm, you know I feel so bad
Honey give me one more chance
I ain't got nobody, babe, speak a word for me, babe
Honey give me one more chance
I ain't got nobody, babe, speak a word for me, babe
I, babe, I, gimme one more chance, gimme one more chance
Hmm, hmm, gimme babe, honey, one more chance
I'm wanderin' babe, just like a ship lost on the foam

Hmm, hmm, you know I'm lost, pretty baby
Just like a ship lost out on the foam
