Lyrics
1922 - Philip Braham / Douglas Furber

Oh Limehouse kid
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 Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Can't seem to shake off those sad China blues
Rings on your fingers and tears for your crown
That is the story of old Chinatown
