Letra de Shanghai Blues
Let's go out for a ride to the old Sin City Where the king of the underworld ruled without any pity He wore a silk gown, dried monkey heads on the back A face carved outta stone and a heart painted black He believed in omens and was very superstitious If anyone ever crossed him, his revenge would be viciousHe got blood on his hands He got blood on his shoes Cuts his enemies down With the Shanghai BluesA Chinese godfather, an offer you can't refuse Or you might disappear with the Shanghai BluesWhen he joined the Green Gang He was young, hungry and tough Took over that crime dynasty Had all the right stuffHe kept many concubines And he had many wives Hooked up with Chiang Kai-shek That was how he survivedHe ran the opium trade with gambling and prostitution Then escaped to Hong Kong before Mao's revolutionHe got blood on his hands He got blood on his shoes Cuts his enemies down With the Shanghai BluesThe Chinese godfather, an offer you can't refuse Or you might disappear with the Shanghai Blues PlayerWhen someone betrayed him He would send them a coffin Or maybe a knife in the back Which happened quite oftenHe got blood on his hands He got blood on his shoes Cuts his enemies down With the Shanghai BluesA Chinese Godfather, an offer you can't refuse Or you might disappear with the Shanghai Blues, huhShanghai Blues The Shanghai Blues, yeah
