Day-o (banana Boat Song)

Harry Belafonte

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home





Work all night on a drink of rum


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Stack banana till de morning come


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home





Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home





Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch


Daylight come and me wan' go home





Beautiful bunch of 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 and me wan' go home


Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day, me say day-ay-ay-o


Daylight come and me wan' go home


Day, me say day, me say day, me say day,
