Ernest Tubb — Seamans Blues

[Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus]
