The Longest Johns - Johnny Come Down To Hilo lyrics

Your rating:

Well, I never seen the like since I been born
A railroad navvy with his sea boots o

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

I met a little gal across the sea
She's a 'Badian beauty and she says to me

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Who's been here since I've been gone?
Pretty little gal with a josey on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, my wife died in Tennessee
And they sent her jawbone back to me

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

So I hung that jawbone on a fence
And I ain't heard nothin' but the jawbone since

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

Well, I never seen the like since I been born
A railroad navvy with his sea boots on

When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that gal with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
