Album:

Somewhere In England

It's the story of a very unfortunate coloured 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 
send the rice 
But it's really in Tennessee 


That's why he says 
I need someone to love me 
Need somebody to carry me home to San 
Francisco 
And bury my body there 
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 somebody believe 
I've a yen to see that Bay again 
Everytime I try to leave 
Sweet opium won't let me fly away 
I need someone to love me 
Need somebody to carry me home to San 
Francisco 
And bury my body there 


That's the story of a very unfortunate coloured 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.
