Judy Drowned - Harry Belafonte

Judy's mama sent her to market,

Ev'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

Told her not to linger so she won't forget

Ev'ry body 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'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

When she look around, the stream had caught her

Ev'ry body 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'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

Takin' her last breath, it did seem, oh

Ev'ry body 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'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

Lucky she grasp a branch on land, oh

Ev'ry body 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'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

But Judy no drownded, Judy lie in bed,

Ev'ry body bawl out Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded

Wa'yo Judy drownded

Judy drownded, Judy drownded

Wa'yo Judy drownded
