Banana Boat Song

The Banana Boat Song, by Harry Belafonte, is a song about a dock worker working the night shift loading large bunches of bananas onto ships. At daylight, his shift is over and he wants his work to be counted up so that he can go home home. This is the meaning of the lyric "Come, Mr. Tally Man, tally me banana. Daylight come and he wanna go home." {{song-stub}}
