Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) [Live]

Harry Belafonte

Day-o (day-o)

Day-ay-ay-o (day-ay-ay-o)

Daylight come and me wan' go home

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day)

Don't leave me now

Day (day), yes

Me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o

(Me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o)

Daylight come and me wan' go home

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Work all night on a drink a rum

Stack banana 'til the mornin' 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)

I lift six and seven and eight and bunch

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Six and seven and eight and bunch

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

A beautiful bunch of ripe bananas (daylight come and -)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Hide the deadly black tarantula (daylight come and -)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Oh, come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana

(Day, day, day, day)

Me say, come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana

(Day, day, day, day)

I lift six and seven and eight and bunch (daylight)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Six and seven and eight and bunch (daylight)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Day (day), me say day-ay-ay-o (day-o)

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Daylight come, me wan' go

Daylight come, me wan' go

Daylight come, me wan' go

Daylight come, me wan' go (don't you know?)

Daylight come, me wan' go
