The Banana Boat Song

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)

(CHORUS)
Day-o, day-o
Comes the light
And I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

Well, I'm loading the
Banana boat all night long
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

Hey, all of you work men
Sing this song
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

(CHORUS)

Well, I sleep by sun
And work by moon
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

When I get some money
Gonna quit so soon
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

(CHORUS)

Well, I pack up all my things
And I'll go to sea
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

Oh, den de bananas see
The last of me
Comes the light
And I wanna go home

(CHORUS)

Hill and gully rider
Hill and gully
Hill and gully rider
(Hill and gully)
Hill and gully rider
(Hill and gully)
