Johnny, come down to Hilo
Oh, I’ve never seen the likes since I’ve been born
Oh, a big buck man with his sea boots on!
Ref: When Johnny come down to Hilo
Poor ol’ man!
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo
Poor Ol’ man
Oh, I love a little girl across the sea
she’s a big buck girl and she says to me
Oh, was you never down in Mobile bay
a-screwin’ cotton on a summers day!
