Johnny Come Down to Hilo
Hand me down my ridin' cane,
I'm gonna see my Liza Jane.
Chorus:
Johnny come down to Hilo, my poor old man!
Oh, wake her! Oh, shake her!
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on--
Johnny come down to Hilo,
My poor old man.
I once had a girl, her hair was red,
It was curly all over but not on her head!
Chorus
A dollar goes from hand to hand,
But my gal goes from man to man.
Chorus
I'll wrap her up in a tater sack.
She'll be true to me 'til I get back!
Chorus
She's a downeast gal with a downeast style,
For a dollar an hour it's all worthwhile.
Chorus
Just one more pull and that will do,
We're the bullies to pull her through...
Chorus
