Greetings,
Sorry but its the only one know. Day-O
No need to be sorry. It is a well known classic calypso song.
I have never quite understood why Belafonte sang it in such
a rumbustious manner as though he were happy lugging
heavy bunches of bananas about on the the nightshift.
There is a bit of discongruity there, being happy about
hard work and slave labour... Ah but there is always the RUM.
You have inspired me. I think I will give this one a go and sing
it mournfully.
