Johnny Gone Down To Hilo Lyrics - Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends - Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends

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 man 

I 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 man 

There 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 man 

Did 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 man 

Did 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!
