Hank Locklin - Geisha Girl lyrics

rate me

Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand

Were you ever in a teahouse on the Island of Japan

And have you ever traveled over a many thousand miles

To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style

They read it in the Tea Leaves and it's written in the sand

I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land

Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know

I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow

[ guitar ]

I have stood and watched the sunrise from the waters of the sea

And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can there be

My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while

To see my pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style

They read it in the Tea Leaves...
