Never seen the like since I been born

An Arkansas farmer with his sea boots on

Johnny come down to Hilo, poor old man

I got gal across the sea

She's a Badian beauty and she says to me…

Sally's in the garden picking peas

The hair on her head hanging down to her knees

My wife she died in Tennessee

And they sent her jawbone back to me

I put that jawbone on the fence

And I ain't heard nothing but the jawbone since

So hand me down my riding cane

I'm off to see Ms. Sarah Jane
