The Banana Boat Song Lyrics

Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Day-o, day-o, day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day de light and I wanna go home.

Well I'm loading the banana boats all night long
Day de light and I wanna go home
And all the workmen 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.

Well I work by sun and I sleep 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.

Well I pack up all my things and I'll 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
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully...
