Banana Boat Song

Harry Belafonte Nr.: 8

Day-o, day-o   Daylight come and me wan‘ go home
Day-o, day-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

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

Heave 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-o, day-o   Daylight come and me wan‘ go home
Day-o, day-o   Daylight come and 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

Heave six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch     Daylight come and me wan‘ go home
Heave six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch         Daylight come and me wan‘ go home

Day-o, day-o   Daylight come and me wan‘ go home
Day-o, day-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-o   daylight come and we wan`go home

Day-o, day-o   daylight come and we wan`go home
