Johnny Come Down to Hilo

Johnny Come Down to Hilo

Ain't never seen the like since I've been born,
An Arkansas farmer with his sea boots on.

<Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man.
So wake her! shake her! wake that gal with the blue dress on.
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man.>

I got a gal across the sea,
She's a 'Badian beauty and she says to me.

<...>

Sally's in the garden picking' peas,
Hair on her head hanging down to her knees.

<...>

My wife died in Tennessee,
They sent her jawbone back to me.

<...>

I set that jawbone on the fence,
And I ain't heard nothing but the jawbone since.

<...>

So hand me down my riding cane,
I'm off to see Miss Sarah Jane.
