Lyrics Shipwreck Blues - 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
sure
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
When
a
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
