Music\DanceMUSIC. Many songs have been produced related to the pearling industry, of which each relay the intriguing sagas of daily life. SAYONARA NAKAMURA by Ted Egan ... library.thinkquest.org/10236/mus.htm
There is a RealPlayer rendition of the song there, but I can never get RealPlayer to play on the computer I use. Perhaps someone could give it a try and put the chords in for Muttley.
When the luggers all sailed away From Roebuck Bay on that fateful day The diver on the B 19 was Nakamura Not yet twenty-one From the Land of the Rising Sun His homeland was the island Okinawa.
In the deepest holes of the Lacepede Shoals To fulfill the pearling master's goals Went the diver from the B 19, Nakamura His quest for the lustrous pearl As strong as his love for the beautiful girl He'd wed when he returned to Okinawa.
Chorus: But it's goodbye now, farewell Say goodbye to Okinawa For today we'll bury you In West Australia You will never be as one With the Land of the Rising Sun Sayonara. Sayonara Nakamura.
If not, and you can make an mp3 of the song, I will give it a listen on Monday and put the chords in.
