Blueberry Hill (1965) Skeeter Davis with her first answer song to Hank Locklin's “Geisha Girl“. This was her first solo hit which reached #15 on the country chart. Songwriter was Lawton Williams. Lyric: There's a rattle in the paper from the tremble of my hand Each time I read the note you sent from the island of Japan Now you say you found another that has made your life worthwhile And I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental style I don't believe in tea leaves or the writing in the sand You've let a foreign woman prove the weakness of a man Where the dim lights of a tea house makes a lonely heart grow wild I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental style [ guitar ] Does the beauty of the islands and your oriental love Make the moon and stars seem brighter as they shine each night above Why a love song with no meaning makes you happy I don't know I've lost you to a geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow I don't believe in tea leaves or the writing in the sand You've let a foreign woman prove the weakness of a man Where the dim lights of a tea house makes a lonely heart grow wild I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental style
