A beautiful bunch a'ripe banana...
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day,
He say day, he say day
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

Some of my Philadelphia ancestors listed their occupation as hucksters including some who were specifically listed as produce dealers. Probably not at this Reading Terminal Market but more likely in Headhouse Market at 2nd and Lombard, (also still there) since they lived near there. But still these produce images have a special connection for me. I can just picture them hawking their produce in these very places in 1875.
