Shanghied

歌詞

I've played around in China town 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 shanghaied on an ocean freighter I was shanghaied eating beans and taters I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter And I wanna get back to 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 And that's a mighty long way from home And I was shanghaied in old Hong Kong I was shanghaied I was all alone I was shanghaied I wanna get back home Back to the Gold Coast shore Back to the Gold Coast shore I worked for grub on an old Dutch tub and wound up in LA Where a pretty little girl took me on a whirl And when I woke up next day When I woke up next day I was shanghaied for the rest of my life I was shanghaied but that's alright I was shanghaied I got a pretty little wife And I'm never leaving home no more I'm never leaving home no more
