Limehouse Blues Lyrics - Cannonball Adderley

And those weird China blues 

Never go away 

Sad, mad blues 

For all the while they seem to say 

Oh, Limehouse kid 

Oh, oh, Limehouse kid 

Goin' 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, Limehouse blues 

I've the real Limehouse blues 

Can't seem to shake off 

Those real China blues 

Rings on your fingers 

And tears for your crown 

That is the story 

Of old Chinatown 

Rings on your fingers 

And tears for your crown 

That is the story 

Of old Chinatown
