1924        Frothingham, Robert, ed. _Songs of the Sea and Sailors' Chanteys_. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.

I think this source furthers the narrative of "Hilo" as a reference to the Peruvian city.

The text given appears -- so say I -- to be something put together, partially newly-composed. I think it was based in Davis and Tozer's printed version. One of the verses (4th) is identical, whereas others look like Frothingham took the idea of the verse and rewrote it to make it *less* literary sounding. It runs with the idea of Hilo as something Peruvian, so the verses relate to that theme. See what you think!

Tom's Gone to Ilo

Tommy's gone, what shall I do?
Heigh-ya to Ilo!
Tom is gone, and I'll go too.
Tom's gone to Ilo.

He's gone away to Ilo Bay,
To Ilo Bay I heard him say,

Way 'round to Callao,
Those Spanish girls he'll see, I know,

Oh, I love Tom and he loves me,
He thinks of me, when out at sea,

Tommy's gone forever more,
I'll never see my Tom no more,
