PEARL OF OLD JAPAN
>From the film "Fox Movietone Follies Of 1929"
(Con Conrad / Archie Gottler / Sidney D. Mitchell)


David Percey (Film Soundtrack) - 1929



There's a legend in Japan
Of a maiden and her man
He fished for pearls they say
And disappeared one day
She's left alone to pray and plan

Pearl of old Japan, do all you can
To find your man
If you have a notion he's under the sea
Show him your devotion
Go under the sea

Throw all else aside, search far and wide
Where treasures hide
And in the wreckage of a sunken galleon
You are sure to find your man
Poor Pearl of old Japan
