"Maribaya" lyrics

In the heat of the tropic sun
I was searching for love and fun
So I've been travelling around this land
Of green valleys and golden sand

On a freight-train I found my way
To my true love, one lucky day
Here on a beautiful site
On a wonderful tropic night

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
A wild rose in the sun
That's where my love's begun
Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew
I found my true love
Here I found my baby blue

A golden rainbow is always hangin' over you
This must be heaven, a paradise come true

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
I found my true love
Here I found my baby blue

Swaying palm trees and waterfalls
There we lie under parasols
And while the paddy-birds sing their song
We're making love in the blistering sun

On a freight-train I found my way
To my true love, one lucky day
Here on a beautiful site
On a wonderful tropic night

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
A wild rose in the sun
That's where my love's begun
Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew
I found my true love
Here I found my baby blue

Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
I found my true love
Here I found my baby blue

Blue bayou
