Hilo Johnny Brown    

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com             

Sally  she'm the gal that I love dearly
Way sing Sally        

Sally, she'm the gal that I love dearly
Hilo Johnny Brown, stand to your ground

Sally she'm the gal that I spliced nearly
Way, sing Sally

Her lips is red an' her hair is curly
Hilo Johnny Brown, stand to your ground

Sally she'm a Badian beauty
Way, sing Sally

Sally-gal she'm know her duty
Hilo Johnny Brown, stand to your ground

Sally she'm a bright mulatta
Way, sing Sally

She drinks rum and chews tabacky
Hilo Johnny Brown, stand to your ground

Seven long years Ah courted Sally
Way, sing Sally

But I don't care to dilly-dally
Hilo  Johnny Brown, stand to your ground


Never mind the weather, boys, keep your legs together
'Way, sing Sally

Haul away, me bully boys, and bust the chafing leather
Hilo Johnny Brown, stand to your ground

The mate he goes around, boys, dinging an' a-dangin
Way, sing Sally

Fair land of Canaan soon be a-showing
Hilo, Johnny Brown, stand to your ground
