Traditional - Lyrics from Capstan Bars, by David Bone
Oh, Tommy's gone. What shall I do?
Hoo-lay-ee! I-oh!
Ah, Tommy's gone, an' I'll go too.
Tom's gone t' Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone t' Baltimore.
Hoo-lay-ee! I-oh!
To dance upon th' sanded floor.
Tom's gone t' Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone t' Singapore.
Hoo-lay-ee! I-oh!
An' I shall never see him more.
Tom's gone t' Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone t' Frisco town.
Hoo-lay-ee! I-oh!
Oh, Tommy's up an' Tommy's down.
Tom's gone t' Hilo!
I thought I heard th' first mate say,
Hoo-lay-ee! I-oh!
Oh, one more pull an' then belay.
Tom's gone t' Hilo!
