As noted above, the 1952 Hugh Paget foreword was reprinted, intact, as the liner notes to the 1954 Edric Connor release with the added footnote: It is this complete collection which has been recorded here by Edric Connor as a long playing record of great variety, contrast and charm.

“Day O Day— O
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.
2x

Come Mister tally man, come tally me banana.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.

Me come yah fe wuk, me no come yah fe idle.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.

Six han', seven han', me eight han' bunch.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.
2x

De checker man him check but him check with caution.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.

Me back is a bruk wid bare exhaustion.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.

Nah give me so-soh bunch, me nah horse wid bridle.
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.

Day O Day— O
Day dah light an' me wan' go home.
2x”

Edric Connor, 'Day Dah Light' (1954)

Notes: The Murray-Bennett songbook lyrics are changed up to suit Edric Connor's voice; which is anything but working class Jamaican. It does improve on the British Council's goal of making the music, such as it has become, accessible to a wider audience.
