George Harrison - Hong Kong Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus 1]
It's the story of a very unfortunate colored man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
He got twenty years privilege taken away from him
When he kicked old Buddha's gong

[Verse 1]
And now he's popping the piano just to raise the price
Of a ticket to the land of the free
Well, he says his home's in Frisco where they send the rice
But it's really in Tennessee

[Chorus 2]
That's why he said, 'I need someone to love me
I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
And bury my body there'

[Verse 2]
I need someone to lend me a fifty dollar bill and then
I'll leave Hong Kong behind me for happiness once again"
Won't somebody believe
I've a yen to see that Bay again
Every time I try to leave
Sweet opium won't let me fly away

[Chorus 2]
I need someone to love me
I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco
And bury my body there

[Chorus 1]
