The Banana Boat Song (1957) |
I had a fall five to twenty‑one |
When I get back we going to have some fun |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
Baby baby tell me the true facts |
Will you be waiting when I get back |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
I told the warden you pay my fine |
It didn’t seem that he paid me no mind |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
The good things you have done I can’t forget |
If you quit me baby it will be my death |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
I love you baby whole heart and soul |
Stand by me until I get my parole |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
Be careful baby while I’m gone |
You can’t be good I’ll be gone too long |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
Going away and how happy I will be |
I know still love me |
Up the river daddy gonna do a stretch |
