Tom's Gone to Hilo
Tommy's gone on a whaling ship
Away to Hilo
Oh, Tommy's gone on a damn long trip
Tom's gone to Hilo
He never kissed his girl goodbye
He left her and he told her why
She'd robbed him blind and left him broke
He'd had enough, gave her the poke
His half-pay went, it went like chalf
She hung around for the other half
She drank and boozed his pay away
With her weather eye on his next payday
Oh Tommy's gone and left her flat
Oh Tommy's gone and he won't come back
