"Johnny Come Down To Hilo" lyrics

"Johnny Come Down To Hilo"

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 girl 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 Boston beauty and she says to me

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, who's been here since I've been gone?
A 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 girl 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 girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, shake her bullies, helms her leash
You'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 girl 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 girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
