John Kanaka
I thought I heard the old man say,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
“Today, today is a holiday!”
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
Tura yay, whoa! Tura yay!
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
We’re bound away at the break of day,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
We’re bound away for Frisco Bay,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
Them Frisco girls ain’t got no combs,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
They comb their hair with a herring backbone,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
Just one more heave and that’ll do,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
‘Cos we’re the crew to pull her through,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
I thought I heard the old man say,
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
“Today, today is a holiday!”
John Kanaka-naka tura yay!
