When Johnny Comes Down To Hilo

Well, I never seen the like since I've been born

A railroad navvy with his sea boots on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

I met a little gal across the sea

She's a 'Badian beauty and she says to me

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, who's been here since I've been gone?

Pretty little gal with a josey on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, my wife died in Tennessee

And they sent her jawbone back to me

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well shake her bullys helms allee

She'll get washed out with the big green sea

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, I never seen the like since I been born

A railroad navvy with his sea boots on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er

Oh, wake that gal with the blue dress on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
