Harry Belafonte - Day-O (Banana Boat)

Day O Day O

Daylight come and me wanna go
Day me say day me say day Me say day me say day o
Daylight come and me wanna go home
work all night and a drink a rum
(daylight come and me wanna go home)
Stack banana till the mornin come

Come mister tally man tally me bananas
(daylight come and me wanna go home)

A beauitful bunch of ripe banana!
