[Verse 1]
Oh, was you ever down in Mobil Bay
Where they load the cotton on a summer's day?
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
[Chorus]
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, who's that gal with the blue dress on?
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
[Verse 2]
I never seen the likes since I've been born
A great big gal with a-sea boots on
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
[Chorus]
Oh, wake her, oh, shake her
Oh, who's that gal with the blue dress on?
Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man
