Lyrics
Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye
Babalu
Jungle drums were badly beating
In the glare of eerie lights:
While the natives kept repeating
Ancient jungle rites.
All at once the dusky warriors began to
Raise their arms to skies above
A a native stepped forward to chant to
His Voodoo Godess of love.
Ah!
Great Babalu!
I 'm so lost and forsaken
Ah, great Babalu
Writer(s): Margarita Lecuona
