The Banana Boat Song

(CHORUS)

Day-o, day-o

Day de light and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o

Day de light and I wanna go home



Me say, load the banana

Boat all night long

Day de light and I wanna go home

Hey, all of you work men

Sing this song

Day de light and I wanna go home



(CHORUS)



Sleep by sun and work by moon

Day de light and I wanna go home

When I get some money

Gonna quit so soon

Day de light and I wanna go home



(CHORUS)



Pack up all my things

And I go to sea

Day de light and I wanna go home

Den de bananas see

The last of me

Day de light and I wanna go home



(CHORUS)



I hope to tell you, mon

I hear them singing, mon

I wanna go home, mon

Day de light and I wanna go home
