And what is "this "Salambo" thing in the Caribbean?"

Abrahams, DEEP THE WATER, pg. 74. The Nevisian whalers sing "Oh My Rolling River" (Shenandoah family), with a distinctly "Sally Brown" lyrical theme to it. One of the verses is:

Salambó, I love your daughter,
Oh, my rolling river.
Salambó, this white mulatta,
We are bound away from this world of misery

Later in the song, the name "Sally" appears, too. It's unclear how Abrahams processed "Salambó" -- i.e., we don't know (?) whether he asked the guys, "Hey, is this just your funky pronunciation of 'Sally Brown'? How would you spell that? etc etc?"
