Oh! Limehouse kid,
Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse kid,
Going the way
that the rest of them did,
Poor broken blossoms
and nobody's child,
Haunting and taunting
you're just kind o' wild,
Oh! Oh! 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.

Oh! Limehouse kid,
Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse kid,
Going the way
that the rest of them did,
Poor broken blossoms
and nobody's child,
Haunting and taunting
you're just kind o' wild,
Oh! Oh! 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.
