I Am Sailin'

I Am Sailin' - Memphis Minnie

Written by：E. Lawlars

I'm sailin' sailin'

Place I've never seen

That's way down south

Sweet ol' New Orleans

'Cause my hometown friend

Treats me awful mean

If I could holler

Yes holler

If I could scream and cry

It hurts me so

When I look up at the sky

'Cause my friends

Turn their heads

As they pass me by

Now it's rainin' it's rainin'

The wind's blowin' cold

Lord I thought I heard

My train whistle blow

Now I'm gonna sail so far

'Til I won't be back no more

Pardon me

Pardon me

It's so hard to stand

I ain't got no money

Uncle Sam has called my name

Now there's not a soul

To lend me a helpin' hand
