  • (Verse 1)
  • It's the story of a very unfortunate colored 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

  • (Chorus)
  • Hong Kong blues, Hong Kong blues
  • He's got Hong Kong blues
  • He says his home's in Frisco where they send 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"

  • (Verse 2)
  • He needs someone to lend him a fifty dollar bill
  • And then he'll leave Hong Kong behind him for happiness once again
  • Won't somebody believe
  • I've a yen to see that Bay again
  • Every time I try to leave
  • Sweet opium won't let me fly away
  • I need someone to love me
  • I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
  • And bury my body there"

  • (Outro)
  • Hong Kong blues, Hong Kong blues
  • He's got Hong Kong blues
  • He says his home's in Frisco where they send the rice
  • But it's really in Tennessee
  • That's why he said, "I need someone to love me
