Hong Kong Blues Songtext
von The Exception

Well it′s the story of a very unfortunate coloured 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 bopping 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 the sand dunes rise
But it's really in Tennessee
That′s why he says

I need someone to love me
Need somebody to carry me home
To San Francisco and bury my body there
Yes I need someone to lend me
A fifty dollar bill and then
I′ll leave Hong Kong far behind me
For happiness once again


Won't someone believe
I′ve been to see that play again
But when I try to leave
Sweet opium won't let me fly away

I need someone to love me
Need somebody to carry me home
To San Francisco and bury my body there

Won′t someone believe
I've been to see that play again
But when I try to leave
Sweet opium won′t let me fly away

Yes I need someone to love me
Need somebody to carry me home
To San Francisco and bury my body there

Yes that's the story of a very unfortunate coloured 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
