Johnny, Come Down to Hilo Songtext
von Storm Weather Shanty Choir

Oh, I′d never seen the like since I've been born
Oh, a big buck man with his sea boots on

When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh, I love a little girl across the sea
She′s a big buck girl, and she says to me


When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh, was you ever down in Mobile Bay
A-screwin' cotton on a summers day?

When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her (hey), oh, shake her (hey)
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
