Far East where the lotus flow'r grows
and a gentle ocean breeze blows
lives a pretty little Chinese maiden
almond eyes so brown and tender,
graceful in her form and slender
ev'ry night I pray my dreams will
Take me to my

Rose of China
let me see the love
in your eyes divine,
Oh, Chinese maiden
well may jealous stars
on you decline to shine,
Oh! Rose of China
to your arms may dream man take me
mid' the cherry blossoms by the sea,
she will wait for me
My China Rose.

Rose of China
let me see the love
in your eyes divine,
Oh, Chinese maiden
well may jealous stars
on you decline to shine,
Oh! Rose of China
to your arms may dream man take me
mid' the cherry blossoms by the sea,
she will wait for me
My China Rose.

Orange scented zephyrs blowing,
silver river gently flowing
tell my jewel to her I am going,
where the golden sun is glowing
where the almond trees are growing,
Gods, your greatest gifts bestowing
Take me to my

Rose of China
let me see the love
in your eyes divine,
Oh, Chinese maiden
well may jealous stars
on you decline to shine,
Oh! Rose of China
to your arms may dream man take me
mid' the cherry blossoms by the sea,
she will wait for me
My China Rose.

Rose of China
let me see the love
in your eyes divine,
Oh, Chinese maiden
well may jealous stars
on you decline to shine,
Oh! Rose of China
to your arms may dream man take me
mid' the cherry blossoms by the sea,
she will wait for me
My China Rose.
