mel tillis - shanghaied lyrics
i’ve played around in china town passing 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 eatin’ beans and tater
i was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
and i wanna get back to shore
back to the go go show
they’d 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 go go show
back to the go go show
well, i worked for my grub on an old dirt stub
and i 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 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…
