The Banana Boat Song Songtext
von The Brothers Four

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...
