Geisha Girl Lyrics - Hank Snow

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

Were you ever in a teahouse on the Island of Japan 

And have you ever traveled over many thousand miles 

To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style 

They've read it in the tea leaves 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 who's true I know 

I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow 

[ piano - guitar ] 

I have stood and watched the sunrise by the waters of the sea 

And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can that be 

My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while 

To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style 

(They've read it in the tea leaves 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 who's true I know 

I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow
