Harry Belafonte

Day-o, Day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
Daylight come, and we want go . . .

Work all night on a drink of rum
    Daylight come and we want go home
Stack banana til the morning come
    Daylight come and we want go home

Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
    Daylight come and we want go home
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
    Daylight come and we want go home
6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch
    Daylight come and we want go home
6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch
    Daylight come and we want go home

Day, is a day-o
    Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
    Daylight come and we want go home

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
    Daylight come and we want go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
    Daylight come and we want go home

It's 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch
    Daylight come and we want go home
6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch
    Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day-o
    Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
    Daylight come and we want go home

Come Mister Tally Man, Tally me banana
    Daylight come and we want go home
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
    Daylight come and we want go home

Day-o, Day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
    Daylight come and we want go home
