Lyrics for China Sea
Seems like you're always dreaming Your mind is wanderin' far away Thinking 'bout your boy in China A junkie on the China Sea Oh, your mother told me so You're gonna be alright Don't let your heart get broken You know how much he loved to sail Remember how you heard that steamer whistle blowing Made him cry all day Oh, mama, she done told me so You're gonna be alright I can hear that whistle I can hear it blowing I can hear that whistle I can hear it blowing I can hear that whistle I can hear it blowing I can hear that whistle I can hear it blowing I can hear that whistle
