Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me recognise this song, it was released i think in the 1950's
the lyrics I can remember are:
John James Brown was a traveller bold
He went away in search of gold
He sailed but not upon an ocean liner
but travelled on a double barrelled express train and landed in an island called malina
the canibals cheered and the natives came and ruled with the mighty sway and he fell in love with a pretty little thing and he wooed her in his way
refrain:
oh my southern maid
say you'll be mine
and you'll have rings upon your fingers bells upon your toes and every little flower from the tulip to the rose if you'll be mrs john james brown from the Honolulu isles
thanks for your help
