This is one of those songs that everybody knows. I remember singing this song as a kid around a campfire somewhere. On a Q trip in 1994, we heard AVB do a version of this song that blew us away. Their arrangement was really the basis for this version, but we, of course, added our own touch to it. Released as the B-side for our “How Could You Say No?” single, this song has been out of circulation for some time. I’m glad that I’m finally able to release it here.

Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's crying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's crying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's crying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's praying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's praying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's praying, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's singing, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's singing, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Someone's singing, Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Kum Bay Yah, My Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
Oh Lord, Kum Bay Yah
