Johnny Come Down to Hilo

Traditional - Lyrics from Songs of American Sailormen, by Joanna Colcord

I nebber see de like since I been born,
When a big buck [Negro] wid his sea boots on,

Says Johnny come down to Hilo, Poor old man!
Oh wake her, oh shake her, Oh, wake dat gal wid de blue dress on!
When Johnny comes down to Hilo, Poor old man!
