Lyrics of Johnny, Come Down to Hilo by Storm Weather Shanty Choir
verse
Oh, I'd never seen the like since I've been born
Oh, a big buck man with his sea boots on

When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
verse
Oh, I love a little girl across the sea
She's a big buck girl, and she says to me
chorus
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
verse
Oh, was you ever down in Mobile Bay
A-screwin' cotton on a summers day?
chorus
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
Oh, wake her (hey), oh, shake her (hey)
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man

Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, wake that girl with the blue dress on
When Johnny comes down to Hilo
Poor old man
