Текст песни Hong Kong Blues - Jeff Healey

It′s the story of a very unfortunate Memphis 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 ship 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
Oh, 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 a yen to see that Bay again
But when I try to leave
Sweet opium won′t let me fly away

Oh, 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 Memphis 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
