You can't be true, dear.
there's nothing i can say.
i trusted you, dear,
hoping we'd find a way.
Your kisses tell me
that you and i are through.
but 'll keep loving you
although you can't be true.
On a slow boat to china
i'm gonna get ya on a slow boat to china
all to myself alone.
get you and keep you
in my arms evermore.
and leave all your lovers, weepin' on a faraway shore.
Out on the briny
with the moon big and shiny
melting your heart of stone.
i'm going to get you
on a slow boat to china
all to myself alone.
