John Kanaka

I thought I heard the old man say,
 Ch. John Kanaka-naka to-rai-ay!
Today, today is a holiday,
 Ch. John Kanaka-naka to-rai-ay!

Grand Chorus
To-rai-ay, Oh! To-rai-ay!
John Kanaka-naka to-rai-ay!

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.

We're bound away around Cape Horn,
We wish to Heav'n we'd never been born!

Oh haul, oh haul, oh haul away,
Oh haul away, an' make yer pay!
