Tandis que je charge les grands bateauxCinglant vers le large vogue un cargoSur le bastingage l'on voit écritLe nom d'un village de mon paysDay o,
Day o,
que le ciel m'y ramène bientôt {bis}J'avais dit au capitaine j'ai de quoi payerPar malheur il manquait vingt dollarsQuand on charge des bananes c'est dur à gagnerMais le vieux n'a rien voulu savoir !Day o,
Day o,
chante,
chante,
mais fait ton boulot {bis}De la mer c'est ma maison qu'on aperçoit d'abordLe navire et le compte y seraQuand je les aurais chargés tous deux jusqu'à ras bordJe verrais son toit rouge déjàDay o,
Day o,
chante,
chante,
mais fait ton boulot {bis}Il y a là-bas des fleurs et des matins très douxEt le ciel est couleur du printempsIl y a de jolies filles qui ne sont à vousComme celles au pays qui m'attendDay o,
Day o,
dans un mois j'y serai de nouveauDay o,
Day o,
très brève mais fait ton boulotTandis que je charge les grands bateauxCinglant vers le large vogue un cargoQuel joli voyage pour moi bientôt.....
