Jimmy Dawkins Mean Atlantic Ocean
It sure is lonesome,
when your home is so many miles away.
It sure is lonesome,
when your home is so many miles away.
My home is in the west,
and I'm standing on the eastern side of the bay.
That great atlantic ocean
seems so mean all the time.
That old atlantic ocean
seems so mean all the time.
It's the only thing between me an my baby,
standing between my sweet girl of mine.
That mean old atlantic ocean,
atlantic ocean is so wide some time.
That mean atlantic ocean,
seems so wide some time.
Right now it's the only thing
between this little girl of mine,
the one that I got on my mind.
Gonna catch me a Jumbo jet,
trying to find my way back home.
Gonna catch me a Jumbo jet,
trying to find my way back home.
It hurts so bad to be the one you love
some time staying away too long.
I'm going away to hold her in my arm again.
I'm coming on home.
I'm going away to hold her in my arm again.
I know everything's gonna be alright
you're my woman and I'm still your man.
