Loading...

[verse 1]
heard, i heard an old man say
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
today, today is a holiday
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

heard, i heard the old man say
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
we’ll work tomorrow but not today
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[chorus]
tu-rai-ay, oh! tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[verse 2]
we’re outward bound at the break of day
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
we’re outward bound for frisco bay
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

we’re outward bound around cape horn
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
where you wish to god you’d never been born
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[chorus]
tu-rai-ay, oh! tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[verse 3]
we’re a yankee ship with a yankee crew
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
and we’re the boys to push her through
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

we’re a yankee ship with a yankee mate
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
don’t stop to walk or he’ll change your gait
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[chorus]
tu-rai-ay, oh! tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[verse 4]
and when we get to frisco bay
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
we’ll pay off ship and draw our pay
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

oh, haul, oh haul, oh haul away
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
haul away and make our pay
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!

[outro]
tu-rai-ay, oh! tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
tu-rai-ay, oh! tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
john kanaka-naka, tu-rai-ay!
