"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional #JamaicanFolkSong. The song has #mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better known #calypsoMusic. It is a #callAndResponse #workSong, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading #bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.
