Geisha Girl (vs. 2)

Hank Locklin · Once Over Lightly [1965]

(Lawton Williams)



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

For you've met her 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 Tealeaves 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...
