lyrics

Never seen such a sight since I was born
As a big buck navvy with his sea boots on when
John's Gone to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh wake her, and shake her,
And wake that girl with the blue dress on when
John's Gone to Hilo
Poor old man

I have a little girl across the sea
She's a 'badian beauty and she says to me well
John's Gone to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh wake her, and shake her
And wake that girl with the blue dress on when
John's Gone to Hilo
Poor old man

Were you ever in Mobile Bay
A-screwin' cotton on a summer's day when
John's Gone to Hilo
John's Gone to Hilo
John's Gone to Hilo

John's Gone to Hilo
John's Gone to Hilo
John's Gone to Hilo
Poor old man
