The 1954 Louise Bennett release is on Folkways Records. That entire catalog was acquired by the Smithsonian in 1987 (see below.)

“DAH DAY LIGHT
A banana lading song. About three o'clock in the morning, the men and women who have been loading the banana boats all night see the first light of dawn and they sing: “Day dah light an me wan' go home” (“Day is dawning and I want to go home.”). A “bunch” of bananas has nine or more bands, but the loaders are not paid anything extra for carrying bunches, hence the stress on “bunch”.

Day oh day oh day dah light an me wan' go home.
Come missa tally-man, come tally me banana.
Day dah light an me wan' go home.
Come fix your cotta'* Matty, fe he come tek bunch banana.
'cotta: leaf leaf binding bananas on the head
Day dah light etc.
Six-hun', seven-hun', eight-hun' bunch!
Day dah light etc.
Me come yah fe work, me no come yah fe idle.
Day dah light etc.
No' gimme so so bunch, me no horse wid bridle.
Day dah light etc.
Six-hun', seven-hun', eight-hun' bunch!
Day dah light etc.
The checka man a check but him check with caution.
Day dah light etc.
Me back jus bruk wid bare exhaustion.
Day dah light etc.
Day oh day oh, day dah light an' me wan go home.”
