Il testo della Seaman's blues

(chorus:)
On my way to italy from the gulf of mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal's behind me, no loving for so long
I'm going back to texas, for that's where i belong

Nights are so lonely on the ocean
To much time to dream of yesterday
If only i could carry out my notion
And hit the trail for texas right away

(chorus:)
On my way to italy from the gulf of mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal's behind me, no loving for so long
I'm going back to texas, for that's where i belong

I never thought i was leaving
I could get so blue out on the sea
But i'll bet you after all this grieving
Its that good old texas soil for me

(chorus:)
On my way to italy from the gulf of mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal's behind me, no loving for so long
I'm going back to texas, for that's where i belong
