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.
