Hong Kong Blues |
| It’s the story of a very unfortunate colored man |
| Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong |
| He got twenty years privilege taken away from him |
| When he kicked old Buddha’s gong |
| And now he’s poppin' the piano just to raise the price |
| Of a ticket to the land of the free |
| Well, he says his home’s in Frisco where they send the rice |
| But it’s really in Tennessee |
| That’s why he said, «I need someone to love me I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco |
| And bury my body there |
| I need someone to lend me a fifty dollar bill and then |
| I’ll leave Hong Kong behind me for happiness once again» |
| Won’t somebody believe |
| I’ve a yen to see that Bay again |
| Every time I try to leave |
| Sweet opium won’t let me fly away |
| I need someone to love me I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco |
| And bury my body there |
| That’s the story of a very unfortunate colored man |
| Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong |
| He got twenty years privilege taken away from him |
| When he kicked old Buddha’s gong |
