Lonnie Johnson Lyrics
"Drifting Along Blues (1946)"

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a rolling stone.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a rolling stone.
No one to love me, no place to call my home.

Life is lonely, when you have to travel it all alone.
Life is a lonely thing, when you have to travel it all alone.
I long for happiness, that's something I've never known.

True love is something, that money can't ever buy.
True love is something, that money can't ever buy.
Day after day you walk, day after day you walk and cry.

I had someone to love me, but they was called away.
I had someone to love me, but they was called away.
If they was only 'live now, I wouldn't have to drift this way.

That's why I'm drifting and I'm drifting, just like a rolling stone.
That's why I'm driftin' and driftin', just like a rolling stone.
Until I find someone to love me, I'll just keep on drifting along.
