Hong Kong Blues - Jerry Lee Lewis

Well, here’s a story about

A very unfortunate colored man

Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong

He got all his fortunes taken away from him

When he kicked old Buddha’s gong

And now he’s pumping

The piano just to pay the price

For a ticket to the land of the free

He said that his home’s in Frisco

Where they ship the rice

But it’s really in Tennessee

Won’t somebody please help me?

Won’t somebody please carry me

Back to San Francisco

And bury my body there?

Yes, and bury my body there

Oh, won’t somebody please help me?

Won’t somebody please carry me

Back to San Francisco

And bury my body there?

Come on now and bury my body there

I’m not joking now, bury my body there

Bring it on back, bury my body there

I want to know where I’m buried now

Bury my body there

Oh yeah, come on now

Ah-ah, come on
