Harry Belafonte – Banana Boat Song (Day-o) lyrics

Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break me
wanna go home.
Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break me
wanna go home.

Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break me
wanna go home.
Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

Six foot
seven foot
eight foot
bunch.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

A clerk man a check
but him a check with caution.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.
Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break me
wanna go home.
Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

My back just broke with bare exhaustion.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break me
wanna go home.
Come
Missa Tally man
tally me Banana.
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.

Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.
Day-o
day-o!
Day
dah light break
me wanna go home.
