Me and my captain don't agree,
But he don't know 'cause he don't ask me.
(Chorus>
He don't know, he don't know my mind.
When he sees me laughin', just laughin' to keep from cryin'.
Oh, my Lord, what's the matter now,
Me and my captain can't make it nohow.
(Chorus>
Captain cusses, but I just smile,
I'll be long gone in a little while.
(Chorus)
Got one mind for the captain to see,
'Nother for what I know is me.
(Chorus)
One of these days and it won't be long.
He'll call my name but I'll be gone.
(Chorus)
