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

 Oh, Limehouse kid
 Oh, oh, Limehouse kid
 Goin' 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 real China blues
 Rings on your fingers
 And tears for your crown
 That is the story
 Of old Chinatown

 Rings on your fingers
 And tears for your crown
 That is the story
 Of old Chinatown
