[Verse]
In Limehouse
Where yellow chinkies love to play
In Limehouse
Where you can hear those blues all day
And they seem all around
Like a long long sigh
Queer sob sound
Oh Honey Lamb they seem to cry
[Refrain]
Oh! Limehouse kid
Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse kid
Going the way that the rest of them did
Poor broken blossom and nobody's child
Haunting and taunting you're just kind of wild
Oh! Oh! Oh! Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Learned from chinkies those sad China blues
Rings on your fingers and tears for your crown
That is the story of old China town.
