Accompaniment:
Lyrics
I’d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on the far-away shore
Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I’d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Interlude
There is no verse to this song
‘Cause I don’t want to wait a moment too long
To say that
Sung here by Fred Feild:
