Seaman's Blues - Ernest Tubb

I’m on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico

Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low

My good gal’s behind me, no lovin' for so long

I’m going back to Texas, cause that’s where I belong

Nights are so lonely on the ocean

There’s to much time to dream of yesterday

If only I could only carry out my notion

Id hit the trail for Texas right away

I never thought when I was leavin'

I could get so blue out on the sea

But It’ll bet you after all this grieving

It’s that good old Texas soil for me
