Day-O, Day-O hear our songs everybody knows,

Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Stuck banana till the morning come
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Come, Mr. tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Come, Mr. tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and we wanna go home

This is my island in the sun
Where the people have toiled since time begun.
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me.

Oh island in the sun, willed to me by my father's hand,
All my days I will sing and praise
of your forests, waters, your shining sand.

Day-O, mis-a day-o, hear our songs everybody knows,
Day, mis-a day, mis-a day,  mis-a day, mis-a day,  mis-a day-o

Coconut woman is calling out and every day you can hear her shout.
Coconut woman is calling out and every day you can hear her shout.

Get your coconut water - coconut
Man, it's good for your daughter - coconut
Coco got a lotta iron - coconut
Make you strong like a lion - coconut

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.

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way, won't be back for many a day.
My heart is down, my heads is turning around,
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.

Day-O, mis-a day-o, .........

Judy Drowned, Judy drowned, wayo Judy Drowned
Judy Drowned, Judy drowned, wayo Judy Drowned
Judy Drowned, Judy drowned, wayo Judy Drowned

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
and play a welcome for me, 'cause I'll be coming home from sea.
I say, Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
