Lyrics Judy Drownded - Harry Belafonte

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
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded
Told her not to linger, so she won't forget
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded

Judy took the shortcut 'cross the water
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded
When she look around, the stream had caught her
Everybody 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
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded
Takin' her last breath, it did seem, oh
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded

Judy she reached out with her hand, oh
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded
Lucky she grasp a branch on land, oh
Everybody 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
Everybody bawl out, Judy drownded
But Judy no drownded, Judy lie in bed
Everybody bawl out, 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 drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded
Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo, Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded
Wa-yo...
