    Lyrics

    I heard, I heard the old man say

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Today, today is a holiday

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    We'll work tomorrow but no work today

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    We'll work tomorrow but no work today

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    We're bound away for Frisco Bay

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    We're bound away at break of day

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    We're bound away around Cape Horn

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    We'll wish to Christ we'd never been born

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    It's rotten meat and weevily bread

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    It's two weeks out and you'll wish you're dead

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    We're Boston born and Boston bred

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    We're thick in the arm and thick in the head

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    We're a Yankee ship with a Yankee crew

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    We can stick to the coast, but we're damned if we do

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    The boatswain says, "Before I'm through,"

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    "You'll curse your mother for having you."

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    Oh, haul, oh, haul, oh, haul away

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    It's haul away and make your pay

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!


    It's one more pull and that will do

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    And we're the bullies for to kick her through

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!

    Tulai-ē, oh, tulai-ē

    John Kanaka-naka, tulai-ē!
