(Retrieved from almost lost and forgotten radio show tapes.) [Intro] N.C. The seaman's blues | D | A | D | [Chorus]
D                                              A7
  I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico

                                   D
Ridin' on a tanker, feeling mighty low

                                          A
My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

A7                                              D
I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong
[Verse 1]
G                           D
Nights are so lonely on the ocean

        G                               D
There's too much time to dream of yesterday

   G                         D
If I could only carry out my notion

                      A7           D
I'd hit the trail for Texas right away
[Break] | D | D | A | D | [Chorus]
D                                              A
  I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico

A7                                 D
Ridin' on a tanker, feeling mighty low

                                              A
For my good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

A7                                              D
I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong
[Verse 2]
G                          D
I never thought when I was leavin'

G                              D     D7
I could get so blue out on the sea

G                               D
But I'll bet you after all this grievin'

                         A7        D
It's that good old Texas soil, for me
[Outro]
D                                                  A
  For I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico

A7          A          A7             D
Ridin' on a tanker and feelin' mighty low

                                          A
My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long

    A7            A                             D
I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong...
