Limehouse Blues



[Verse]
 * In Limehouse
 * Where yellow chinkies love to play
 * In Limehouse
 * Where you can hear those blues all day


 * And they seem all around
 * Like a long long sigh
 * Queer sob sound
 * Oh Honey Lamb they seem to cry

[Refrain]
 * Oh! Limehouse kid
 * Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse kid
 * Going the way that the rest of them did
 * Poor broken blossom and nobody's child
 * Haunting and taunting you're just kind of wild


 * Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse blues
 * I've the real Limehouse blues
 * Learned from chinkies those sad China blues
 * Rings on your fingers and tears for your crown
 * That is the story of old China town.

[Verse]
 * Oh Dearie
 * Right here in orange blossom land
 * I'm weary
 * 'Cause no one seems to understand


 * And those weird China blues
 * Never go away
 * Sad mad blues
 * For all the while they seem to say
