Emile Ford Backing Tracks – On A Slow Boat To China … What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For
I’d love to get you
on a slow boat to China
all to myself alone
Mmm, get you and keep you
in my arms evermore
leave all your
lovers weeping
on the far away shore
Out on the briny
with the moon big and shiny
melting your heart of stone
I’d love to get you
on a slow boat to China
all to myself alone
Do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do-do
I’d love to get you
on a slow boat to China
all to myself alone
Mmm, get you and keep you
in my arms evermore
leave all your
lovers weeping
on the far away shore
Out on the briny
with the moon big and shiny
melting your heart of stone
Oh… I’d love to get you
on a slow boat to China
all to myself alone
Do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do-do-do-do
