Lyrics The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) - Harry Belafonte

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, 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 a rum
Stack banana till the mornin' come
Oh, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Me say come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
An' it's six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say 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
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
A beautiful bunch, a ripe banana
(Daylight come and)
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Highly deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and)
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Oh, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Me say, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
An' it's six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say 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
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
