Verse 1
D
Hambo
B
D
Hambo, where you been?
Round the world and back again
Hambo
B
D
Hambo, what's your sin?
Just the color of your skin
They lynched him on an old oak tree
You did not hear him cry
Lyin' lumbido, his hand bone risin' high
He laughed like a child
A twisted lullaby,
black folks all would hear
Sweet
Jesus in the sky
Hamble, hamble, where you been?
Round the world and back again
B
D
Hamble, hamble, what's your scene
Just the color of your skin
They burned his body down to the bone
His poor black mammy off
keeping to his moan
B
D
And groan
But this be the truth
And the truth never dies,
B
D
you know she buried his bones by the full moon light
Hambo
Hambo, where you been?
Round the world and back again
Hambo
B
D
Hambo, what's your sin?
Now I dug up his bones,
and I took him home
Turned him into a skeleton, xylophone
Now I play those keys, call me tragic tones
Call me from the blues,
I took a brother back home
B
D
Hamble, hamble the way you did
E
D
Round the world and back again
Hamble, hamble was your sin
