CI'm just drift-wood on the river floating G7down the tide
I don't care where this old river carries Cme
I keep drifting just because my heart is Fbroken inside
And I'm G7tired of wishing for what can not Cbe
I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost G7same as I
Share a hand shake and a tender tear or Ctwo
But It's always good luck now we got to Fsay good-bye
I must G7wander on to keep my renCdezvous
Though I drift through town and city I can G7never stay
For I find no place to call my home sweet Chome
I don't ask for help or pity I just Fgo my way
All I'm G7praying for is peace to dream Calone
I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm G7drifting on
Till this weary river meets the deep blue Csea
Where the deep blue sea may help me to Fforget someone
Yes the G7careless one who has forgotten Cme
In my heart I don't feel bitter over G7what has been
I feel sorry for the one I must Cforget
And instead of being someone with the Fworld to win
I'm just G7drift-wood on the river of Cregret

C G7

I'm just drift-wood on the river floating down the tide

I don't care where this old river carries me

I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside

G7 C

And I'm tired of wishing for what can not be

I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost same as I

Share a hand shake and a tender tear or two

But It's always good luck now we got to say good-bye

G7 C

I must wander on to keep my rendezvous

Though I drift through town and city I can never stay

For I find no place to call my home sweet home

I don't ask for help or pity I just go my way

G7 C

All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone

I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm drifting on

Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea

Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone

G7 C

Yes the careless one who has forgotten me

In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been

I feel sorry for the one I must forget

And instead of being someone with the world to win

G7 C

I'm just drift-wood on the river of regret
