My Johnny's gone what shall I do
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
And if he says so I'll go to
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
Hilo-a Hilo my Johnny's gone
And I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
My Johnny's sailed away to sea
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
A mermaid's lover he'll surely be
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
Hilo-a Hilo my Johnny's gone
And I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
My Johnny's sailed
From off of these shores
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
I'll never see my Johnny no more
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
Hilo-a Hilo my Johnny's gone
And I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
