Hong Kong Blues - Hoagy Carmichael (霍奇·卡邁克爾)

 

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 o***m 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
