I’m Sailin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm sailin', sailin' Place I've never seen That's way down south Sweet ol' New Orleans 'Cause my hometown friend treats me awful mean [Verse 2] If I could holler, yeah, holler If I could scream and cry It hurts me so When I look up in the sky 'Cause my friends turn their heads As they pass me by [Verse 3] Now it's rainin', it's rainin' The wind's blowin' cold Lord, I thought I heard My train whistle blow Now I'm gonna sail so far 'Til I won't be back no more [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Pardon me, pardon me It's so hard to stand I ain't got no money Uncle Sam has called my man Now there's not a soul To give me a helpin' hand
