I am trying to find the origin of "Johnny Come Down to Hilo"
It is listed in one source as a Broadside. I am interested in finding the African-American roots to this sea ballad.

Could this be related to: "John come Down de Holler" by Dan Emmett. Does anyone have Emmett's lyrics?

What are the minstrel roots to "Johnny Come Down to Hilo"?
