Day-O (Banana Boat Song)

Harry Belafonte

day-o
day-ay-ay-o
daylight come and me wan' go home
day, day
me say day, me say day, me say day 
me say day-ay-ay-o
daylight come and me wan' go home

work all night on a drink of rum
stack banana till de morning 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-ay-ay-o
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
me say day, me say day

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

oh come mister tally man, tally me banana
me say come mister tally, 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-ay-ay-o
daylight come and me wan' go home
day, me say day, me say day, me say day.
daylight come and me wan' go home
