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
