Subject: RE: Looking for words to Kumbya From: tc@obd.com Date: 15 Feb 99 - 10:28 PM I learned the song from a Joan Baez recording. I seem to remember only five verses. Kumbya, my Lord, Kumbya... Someone's singing Lord, Kumbya... Someone's crying Lord, Kumbya... Someone's praying Lord, Kumbya... Kumbya, my Lord, Kumbya... |

Subject: RE: Looking for words to Kumbya From: John Hindsill Date: 15 Feb 99 - 10:57 PM Pete Seeger's version [Folkways FA2412] "Someone's sleeping", "Someone's praying", "Someone's singing" All verses sung 3x followed by "Oh, Lord, kum-ba-ya" According to the accompanying notes, the hymn was originally American, "Come by Here, Lord", found its way to Africa (Angola), and came back again as Kum-ba-ya. That's more than you asked for, or care to know, but its free. |
