Goodbye Banana Boat
Goodbye, banana boat
Down the river I watch you softly float
While the night birds on the shore sing those lonely notes
Goodbye, banana boat
No, you didn't even leave a note
Just this little quiver in my throat
But I know you'd been so far away
So there's not much reason for you to stay
So I'll see you where the darkness turns to day
So goodbye, banana boat
Take with you the promise that I wrote
I slipped it in the pocket of your coat
So goodbye, banana boat, goodbye
Goodbye, banana boat, goodbye
Goodbye, banana boat, goodbye
Goodbye, banana boat, goodbye
