My Little China Doll 1917

Pat McCann, a sailor man
come to Hong Kong town one day
in that chinky town
almond eyes of brown
stole his Irish heart away.
And that very night
Paddy tried to write
like so many lovers do,
For this Chinese maid
this serenade
that I'm going to sing to you.

Ching Lee, Ching Lee,
My little China Doll,
I love you best of all,
believe me,
I'll be
so lonesome far across the sea.
Far from the land
where dreamy lanterns glow
and the sweetest girl I know.
Hear me, Ching Lee
my little China Doll,
My little China Doll.

Ching Lee, Ching Lee,
My little China Doll,
I love you best of all,
believe me,
I'll be
so lonesome far across the sea.
Far from the land
where dreamy lanterns glow
and the sweetest girl I know.
Hear me, Ching Lee
my little China Doll,
My little China Doll.

Pat McCann, the sailor man
thought he'd like to settle down,
when he reached the town
all the folks around
saw Pat
there was a frown
this China maid became afraid
of the man from o'er the sea,
when he board his boat
he found a note
in it was this plea.

Ching Lee, Ching Lee,
My little China Doll,
I love you best of all,
believe me,
I'll be
so lonesome far across the sea.
Far from the land
where dreamy lanterns glow
and the sweetest girl I know.
Hear me, Ching Lee
my little China Doll,
My little China Doll.

Ching Lee, Ching Lee,
My little China Doll,
I love you best of all,
believe me,
I'll be
so lonesome far across the sea.
Far from the land
where dreamy lanterns glow
and the sweetest girl I know.
Hear me, Ching Lee
my little China Doll,
My little China Doll.
