Lyrics Hong Kong Blues - Jerry Lee Lewis

Hong Kong Blues

Well, here’s a story about
A very unfortunate colored man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
He got all his fortunes taken away from him
When he kicked old Buddha’s gong
And now he’s pumping
The piano just to pay the price
For a ticket to the land of the free
He said that his home’s in Frisco
Where they ship the rice
But it’s really in Tennessee
Won’t somebody please help me?
Won’t somebody please carry me
Back to San Francisco
And bury my body there?
Yes, and bury my body there
Oh, won’t somebody please help me?
Won’t somebody please carry me
Back to San Francisco
And bury my body there?
Come on now and bury my body there
I’m not joking now, bury my body there
Bring it on back, bury my body there
I want to know where I’m buried now
Bury my body there
Oh yeah, come on now
Ah-ah, come on
