I've played around in China town passing the 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 eating 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 and put me on my own
Not a penny in my pockets
Ten thousand miles from home
And that's a mighty long way from home

And I was shanghaied in old Hong Kong
I was shanghaied I was all alone
I was shanghaied I 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 and wound up in LA
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 alright
I was shanghaied I got a pretty little wife
And I'm never leaving home no more
I'm never leaving home no more
