Shipwreck Blues Lyrics

 

Shipwreck Blues - Bessie Smith

Written by:Bessie Smith

Captain

Tell your men

To get on board

 

I sure see 'em just pull into another shore

 

I'm dreary in mind

And I'm so worried in heart

 

Oh the best of friends

 

Sho' has got to part

 

Blow your whistle captain

So your men'll know what to do

 

Blow your whistle captain

So your men'll know what to do

 

Little woman gets dreary

Ain't no tellin' what she won't do

 

It's cloudy outdoors as can be

 

Oh it's cloudy as can be

 

That's the time I need

My good man with me

 

It's rainin' and it's stormin' on the sea

 

It's rainin' it's stormin' on the sea

 

I feel like somebody

 

Has shipwrecked poor me
