Shipwreck Blues

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
