I've never seen the like since I been born
A great big sailor with his sea boots on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man(CHORUS)
Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old manI had a little girl across the sea
She's an Asian beauty and she says to me
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man(CHORUS)
Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old manThere was a sailor called Uncle Ned
He had no hair hangin' from his head
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man(CHORUS)
Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old manDid you ever go down to Mobile Bay
Where they sew the cotton all through the day
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man(CHORUS)
Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old manDid you ever see the old plantation bus
With a long-tail filly and a big black hoss
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man(CHORUS)
Well I'll wake her
I'll shake her
I'll wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man, hey!
