Davis Jr., Sammy - In A Persian Market Lyrics






When lights are low my thoughts always go
To a far off land 'cross the sea
Amber moon and the sweet perfume
Of the mystic East call to me

In a Persian market place
Love and I came face to face
While the temple bells were ringing
Two hearts shared a sweet embrace

Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart

Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart
I found love and lost my heart

    Great to hear a vocal version of this awesome composition. I first heard a version by Wilbur de Paris that has a great banjo intro. Sammy also made a really edgy intro, and outro too! Love it!

    Very amusing version!! Sammy ROCKS.

    Who wrote the lyrics? I have copies of the original sheet music (1920), and there's no lyrics there.

    Lyrics much later. I’m going to guess 1950s.
