Day-O (Banana Boat Song)

# W/B : Harry Belafonte - Lord Burgess - Bill Attaway # Based on a Jamaican folk song

Day-o, day-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Work all night on a drink of rum

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Stack banana till the mornin' come

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Day, me say day-o

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day…..

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Hide the deadly black tarantula

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Day, me say day-o

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day…..

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

(Daylight come & me wan' go home)

Day-o, day-o

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
