Testo Shanghied - Webb Pierce
Testo della canzone Shanghied (Webb Pierce), tratta dall'album Country Legends: The Unforgettable Webb Pierce
I played around in China town, passing the 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, eating beans and taters
I was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
And I wanna get back to shore
Back to the Gulfport shore
They throwed me off in old Hong Kong
And put me on my own
Not a penny in my pocket, ten thousand miles from home
That's a mighty long way from home
I was shanghaied in old Hong Kong
I was shanghaied, I was all alone
I was shanghaied, gonna get back home
Back to the Gulfport shore
Back to the Gulfport shore
I worked for my grub on an old Dutch tub
And I wound up in L.A
When a pretty little girl took me on a whirl
And when I woke up next day
And when I woke up next day
I was shanghaied for the rest of my life
I was shanghaied, but that's alright
I was shanghaied, I got a pretty little wife
I'm never leavin' home no more
Never leavin' home no more
