Johnny Come Down To Hilo

Never seen the like since I been born
An Arkansas farmer with his sea boots on
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

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
The hair on her head hanging down to her knees

My wife she died in Tennessee
And they sent her jawbone back to me

I put 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 Ms. Sarah Jane
