Shanghaied Lyrics

I Played Around In Chinatown
Just A-Passin' Time Away
When Black Jack Red Hit Me In The Head
And When I Woke Up Next Day, I Was Many Miles Away

I Was SHANGHAIED On An Ocean Freighter
I Was SHANGHAIED Eatin' Beans And Taters
I Was SHANGHAIED On An Ocean Freighter
And I Wanna Get Back To Shore, Back To The Gold Coast Shore

They Throwed Me Off In Old Hong Kong
Put Me On My Own
Not A Penny In My Pocket, Ten Thousand Miles From Home
That's A Mighty Long Way From Home

I Was SHANGHAIED In Old Hong Kong I Was SHANGHAIED, I Was All Alone
I Was SHANGHAIED, Wanna Get Back Home
Back To The Gold Coast Shore, Back To The Gold Coast Shore

I Worked For Grub On An Old Dutch Tub,
Wound Up In L.A.
Where A Pretty Little Girl Took Me On A Whirl
And When I Woke Up Next Day, When I Woke Up Next Day...

I Was SHANGHAIED For The Rest Of My Life
I Was SHANGHAIED, But That's All Right
I Was SHANGHAIED, Got A Pretty Little Wife
And I'm Never Leavin' Home No More, Never Leavin Home No More.
