FIDDLER'S GREEN - Heyday

John Kanaka

Heard, I heard an old man say (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Today, today is a holiday (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Heard, I heard the old man say (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
We'll work tomorrow, but not today (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

Tura yay, oh, tura yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

We're outward bound at the break of day (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
We're outward bound for Frisco Bay (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
We're outward bound around Cape Horn (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Where you wish to God you'd never been born (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

Tura yay, oh, tura yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

We're a Yankee ship with a Yankee crew (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
And we're the boys to push her through (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
We're a Yankee ship with a Yankee mate (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Don't stop to walk or change your gait (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

Tura yay, oh, tura yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

And when we get to Frisco Bay (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
We'll pay off ship and draw our pay (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Oh, haul, oh haul, oh haul away (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Haul away and make our pay (hey)
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay

Tura yay, oh, tura yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
Tura yay, oh, tura yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
John-kanaka-naka-tura-yay
