Johnny Come Down to Hilo
[Verse 1]
Well I never seen the like since I been born
A railroad navvy with his sea boots on
[Chorus]
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
Oh wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

She's a Boston beauty and she says to me

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

[Chorus]
When Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
Oh, wake 'er, oh, shake 'er
