Hey, all of 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
I hope to tell you when I get some money
Gonna quit so soon

Well, I pack up all my things and I’ll go to sea
Day de light and I wanna go home
Oh, den de bananas see the last of me
Day de light and I wanna go home
Sing me
Day-o, day-o
Day de light
And I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light
And I wanna go home
