John Kanaka

A Hisser




Ecouter

I thought I heard the Old Man say,
John Kanaka-naka tulai-é
Today, today is a holiday.
John Kanaka-naka tulai-é
Tu lai-é o tu lai-é
John Kanaka-naka tulai-é

We'll work tomorrow but no work today.
We'll work tomorrow but no work today.

We're bound away for Frisco Bay.
We're bound away at the break of day.

Yankee ship with a Yankee crew,
We're the buckos to kick her through.

A Yankee ship with a Yankee mate,
If you stop to work he'll change your gait.

Oh, we'll haul, we'll haul, we'll haul away,
And make her port and take your pay.
