Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"Judy Drownded"

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy's mama sent her to market
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded
Told her not to linger so she won't forget
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy took the short cut 'cross the water
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded
When she look around, the stream had caught her
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy was carried down the stream, oh
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded
Takin' her last breath, it did seem, oh
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy reach out with her hand, oh
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded
Lucky she grasp a branch on land, oh
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded

So I went up to Judy's mother's shed
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded
But Judy no drownded, Judy lie in bed
Ev'rybody bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa'yo Judy drownded
