Songtexte

I played around in Chinatown

Passing the time away

When Black Jack Red hit me in the head

And when I woke up next day

I was many miles away

I was shanghied on an ocean freighter

I was shanghied eatin' beans and Taters

I was shanghied on an ocean freighter

And I want to get back to the shore

Back to the Gold Coast shore

They throwed me off in old Hong Kong

And put me on my own

Not a penny in my pockets

Ten thousand miles from home

That's a mighty long ways from home

I was shanghied in old Hong Kong

I was shanghied I was all alone

I was shanghied want to get back home

Back to the Gold Coast shore

I worked for grub on an old Dutch tub

And wound up in L.A.

But a pretty little girl took me on a whirl

And when I woke up next day

I was shanghied for the rest of my life

I was shanghied but that's all right

I was shanghied I got a pretty little wife

And I'm never leaving home no more

Never leaving home no more.
