I asked the witch doctor,

whose magic is known
D

Can you make this Zulu girl be mine alone?
He said to me,

Look to the sky,

then as the lion walks his way
D 
Her magic word,
G 
it will be heard and she'll say
Kutanda, Kutanda,
A 
she'll save you with joy
D 
She'll take you and make you
G 
a happy Zulu boy
And now I can see
A 
that his magic is true
D
