Once I was lost 

Out on the gloomy sea 

Once I was lost 

Out on that gloomy sea 

And I began to wonder 

What would become a-me? 

The thunder was rolling 

The rain begin to fall 

The thunder was rolling 

The rain begin to fall 

I thought to myself 

I wouldn't see home, anymo' 

I left my home 

When I was only five years old 

I left my home 

When I was only five years old 

And if I ever get back 

I'll never leave home anymo' 

I was so lonely 

I could not control myself 

I was so lonely 

I could not control myself 

I couldn't hear from my baby 

Couldn't hear from nobody else 

I walked so far 

I've gived down in my knees 

I walked so far 

I've gived down in my knees 

Mister, will you let me ride 

In your machine, if you please?
