The Sun Will Soon Be Setting (For The Land of The Rising Sun)

Performed by Frankie Masters
Recorded December 15, 1941
Written by Sam Lerner

They came chasing after trouble
And their trouble's just begun
So the sun will soon be setting
For the land of the rising sun
While their left hand offered friendship
In the right they held a gun
But the sun will soon be setting
For the land of the rising sun
They came while we slumbered like a thief in the night
But their days will be numbered by the mighty right of our dynamite
We'll repay them more than double
For the trouble they've begun
Oh, the sun will soon be setting
For the land of the rising sun
