Sarah Vaughan - Sarah Vaughan's Golden Hits

The Banana Boat Song

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

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home

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

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home

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

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home

I hope to tell you, man
I can hear them singing, man
I wanna go home, man
Day de light and I wanna go home
