Lyrics
There are ten thousand graves
In Hong Kong Protestant Cemetery
Every one of them says 'born and died'
And the rest might be history
Walking there, I'd cry
For my love was there to lie
I never knew the shade to be so refreshing
I'd sing 'Georgia On My Mind'
She would be, I'd be regressing
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
Was the day off the boats
For the fellas in coats in the Navy
They'd be all around
Change the face of this town 'cause they're lazy
1952 was the year that I lost you
I was with the soldiers in the school hall
Didn't know that you were ill
You didn't seem old
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
Don't go, China, so new, so blue
So who's aboard the boats these days?
Some people are fixing the terrible
Mixing the crew of all the sailors say
Your life might be a mess of lights
When you're on your own
But the lights you'll see form a line
That'll be pointing all the way home
I was here before
My name was on the door
Took a score of years to get to your seat
I'll send the next in line, he'll be a clean sheet
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
I'm alright!
