(CHORUS). Day-o, day-o. Day de light and I wanna go home. Day-o, day-o. Day de light and I wanna go home. . Me say, load the banana. Boat all night long.
(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess). . Down the way, where the nights are gay. And the sun shines daily on the mountain top. I took a trip on a sailing ship.
Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o. Daylight come and me wan' go home. Day, me say day, me say day, me say day. Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o. Daylight come and me wan' go home.
Down the way where the nights are gay. And the sun shines daily on the mountain top. I took a trip on a sailing ship. But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop.
Down the way where the nights are gay. And the sun shines daily on the mountain top. I took a trip on a sailing ship. And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
All: Day-o, day-ay-ay-o. All: Daylight come and he wanna go home. All: Day, he say day, he say day, he say day,. All: He say day, he say day-ay-ay-o. All: Daylight come and he wanna go home.
Jamaica Farewell. Down the way where the lights are gay,. And the sun shines daily on the mountain top;. I took a trip on a sailing ship,. And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop..
