Johnny Come
Down to Hilo

I've never seen the like since I been born
A great big sailor with his sea boots on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

I had a little girl across the sea
She's an Badian beauty and she says to me
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

The was a sailor called Uncle Ned
He had no hair hangin’ from his head
When Johnny comes down to Hilo 
Poor old man

Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Did you ever go down to Mobile Bay
Where they see the cotton all through the day
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Did you ever see the old plantation bus
With a long-tail filly and a big black hoss
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
