Sung by Jerry Garcia with Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions in 1964
Way down South, way down in BorneoNotes
There's a wild dance called the horn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba-ba-ba bahm ba-bahm
You will dance till the break of dawn-eo
Even though you've got a corn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba ba-bahm
Wild man stands with his clothes all torn-eo (note 1)
Toot toot toots on his bamboo horn-eo
While the bamboo babies start to sway
Start to sway, start to sway, start to sway
When you see them dance the horn-eo
You will put your jewels in pawn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba ba-bahm
Way down South, way down in Borneo
There's a wild dance called the horn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba-ba-ba bahm ba-bahm
You will dance till the break of dawn-eo
Even though you've got a corn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba ba-bahm
Wild man stands with his clothes all torn-eo
Toot toot toots on his bamboo horn-eo
While the bamboo babies start to sway
Start to sway, start to sway, start to sway
When you see them dance the horn-eo
You will put your jewels in pawn-eo
Way down, on Borneo Bay
Ba-ba ba-bahm
