about

(Traditional)

This long drag sea chantey is a Welsh variant of “Tommy’s Gone Down to Hilo”and based on the version given by the Welsh group Callennig.

lyrics

Tommy’s gone and I’ll go too, Tommy’s gone away,
Tommy’s gone and I’ll go too, Tommy’s gone away.
Tommy’s gone to Calleo, he won’t come back from there you know,
Tommy’s gone to Vallipo, to kiss those Spanish girls you know,
Tommy’s gone to far Quebec, launching timber on the deck,
Tommy’s gone to Montreal, in a packet ship with skysails tall,
Tommy’s gone to Rio Grande, dancing on that yellow sand
Tommy’s gone to Singapore, stranded on that foreign shore,
Tommy’s gone to Frisco Bay, around Cape Horn the other day
Tommy’s gone to Cardiff town, where the girls they all come down,
Tommy’s gone to Swansea Bay, hear the Judys shout hooray,
Tommy’s gone to Haverford West, they’ll give Tommy all their best
Tommy’s gone to Aberwyne Sheila’s towing on the line,
Tommy’s gone forever more, Tommy’s gone forever more,
