It was first recorded on an British disc by Edric Connor &#8220;Songs From Jamaica&#8221; in 1952. Its origin is unknown but is believed to be a banana loaders song from the late nineteenth century. Harry Belafonte had the most recognizable hit with it in 1956 but the Tarriers had a top ten hit with it as well. Alan Arkin (now and actor) sang lead on their version which incorporated another Jamaican folk song &#8220;Hill and Gully Rider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<br \/>\nKey of E<\/p>\n<p>Day O Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day O Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Come mister tally man tally me banana<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Come mister tally man tally me banana<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day N Day Day N Day Day N Day Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day N Day Day N Day Day N Day Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Six hand seven hand eight hand bunch<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Six hand seven hand eight hand bunch<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day N Day Day N Day Day N Day Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day N Day Day N Day Day N Day Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Work all night on a drink of rum<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Work all night till the morning come<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day O Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<p>Day O Day O<br \/>\nDay Dah Light and me want go home<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
