Traditional - Lyrics from Songs of American Sailormen, by Joanna Colcord
Oh, Tommy's gone, what shall I do?
Hilo, Hilo!
My Tommy's gone, and I'll go too,
My Tom's gone to Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Liverpool,
Hilo, Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Liverpool,
My Tom's gone to Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Singapore,
Hilo, Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Singapore,
My Tom's gone to Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Boneys Airs,
Hilo, Hilo!
Oh, Tommy's gone to Boneys Airs,
My Tom's gone to Hilo!
And so on ad lib., the last verse being
My Tommy's gone for ever more.
Hilo, Hilo!
My Tommy's gone for ever more.
My Tom's gone to Hilo!
