Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
He said, "Love the banana boat all night long"
Day delight and I wanna go home
Hey, all of the working man sing his song
Day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 3]
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 4]
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
[Verse 5]
Sleep by sun and wake by noon
Day delight and I wanna go home
When I get some money gonna quit so soon
Day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 6]
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 7]
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully
[Verse 8]
Pack up all my things and I 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
[Verse 9]
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, day delight and I wanna go home
[Verse 10]
Hill and gully rider (I hope to tell you man)
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully (I can hear you singing, man)
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully (I wanna go home man)
Day delight and I wanna go home (Day delight and I wanna go home)
