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
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully

Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home

When I'm loading the banana boats all night long
Day delight and I wanna go home
Hey all of the workmen sing this song
Day delight and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home

Hey I sleep by sun and I work by moon
Day delight and I wanna go home
When I get some money gonna quit so soon
Day delight and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home

Pack up all my things and I'll go to sea
Day delight and I wanna go home
Then the bananas see the last of me
Day delight and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home

Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
(Repeat 2x to fade)
