Hong Kong Cemetry |
|
|
|
There are ten thousand graves |
|
In Hong Kong Protestant Cemetery |
|
Every one of them says |
|
Born and died and the rest might be history |
|
|
|
Walking there I'd cry |
|
For my love was there to lie |
|
I never knew shame to be so refreshing |
|
I'd sing Georgia on my mind, she would be [Incomprehensible] |
|
|
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
|
|
Was the day of the boats |
|
For the fellas in coats in the Navy |
|
They'd be all around |
|
Change the face of this town 'cos they're lazy |
|
|
|
1952 was the year that I lost you |
|
I was with the soldiers in the school hall |
|
Didn't know that you were ill |
|
You didn't seem off |
|
|
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
|
|
Don't go China show, new so blue |
|
So who's aboard the boats these days? |
|
Some people are fixing the terrible |
|
Mixing the crew of old whose sailors say |
|
|
|
Your life might be a mess of lights |
|
When you're on your own |
|
But the lights you'll see form a line |
|
That'll be pointing all the way home |
|
|
|
I was here before |
|
My name was on the door |
|
Took a score of years to get to your seat |
|
I'll send the next in line, he'll be a clean sheet |
|
|
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
|
I'm alright, I'm alright |
