I fell so bad for this man!! He had to work all night to get paid!! You know how hot it was?? I'll tell you it was HOT!! That's why hes saying in his song, DAY-O DAY-O, because he wants day to come so he can go home. He got paid for how many bushels of bananas he collected. That's why he's saying "come on mr. tally man, tally me banana." Just thought I'd tell you that!!

So sorry for this long long delayed reply. Anyway, thanks for your comment and it's true, even today, that our farmers got paid very little for their produce.
