This is a much softer song than the sea chantey we're used to. I found it at The Rufus Wainwright Archive. It appears on The McGarrigle Hour CD and DVD.

MY JOHNNY'S GONE TO HILO

My Johnny's gone, what shall I do?
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
And if he says, so I'll go to
My Johnny's gone to Hilo

Hilo-a, Hilo, my Johnny's gone, and I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo

My Johnny's sailed away to sea
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
A mermaid's lover, he'll surely be
My Johnny's gone to Hilo

Hilo-a, Hilo, my Johnny's gone, and I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo

My Johnny's sailed from off of these shores
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
I'll never see my Johnny no more
My Johnny's gone to Hilo

Hilo-a, Hilo, my Johnny's gone, and I'll go too
My Johnny's gone to Hilo
