Hong Kong, Mississippi

(アルバム： Bo Diddley Is A Lover - 1961)

I met a girl from Hong Kong
I met a girl from Hong Kong
She don't sound like what she said she's from
She said she's from Hong Kong
You know that teacher, beware she's from
She's from Hong Kong, Mississippi

That little girl, I figured Hong Kong be
I mean maybe, Chinese beans
She said I followed there, where she lived
I saw her struggling, a-climbing stairs
Where's she from, someone like one
I know she's from Hong Kong, Mississippi

You all know me, Lord

She whispered in my sweet little ear
She said Bo Diddley, um yeah I said
Help me baby, baby where you from
She said I'm from a place they call Hong Kong
I said you don't sound like where you from
I know you from Hong Kong, Mississippi

Mississippi, ooh
Mississippi, ooh
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi, oh yeah

I saw you the other day in front of where you live
I've seen you struggling in a cotton field
Picking brand new Chinese beans
You started waving, waving at me
Tell me baby, tell me where you from
I know you from Hong Kong, Mississippi
