Sounds very similar but not quite the same as "Johnny Come Down to Hilo".

Some of the words of that one, as I recall:
Was you ever down in Mobile Bay
Where they screws the cotton on a hot summer day?

Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man.

Have you searched the DT for "Hilo"? Really ought to be there, seems to me.
