| In the heat of the tropic sun
|
| I was searching for love and fun
|
| So I’ve been travelling around this land
|
| Of green valleys and golden sand
|
| On a freight-train I found my way
|
| To my true love, one lucky day
|
| Here on a beautiful site
|
| On a wonderful tropic night
|
| Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
|
| A wild rose in the sun
|
| That’s where my love’s begun
|
| Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew
|
| I found my true love
|
| Here I found my baby blue
|
| A golden rainbow is always hangin' over you
|
| This must be heaven, a paradise come true
|
| Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
|
| I found my true love
|
| Here I found my baby blue
|
| Swaying palm trees and waterfalls
|
| There we lie under parasols
|
| And while the paddy-birds sing their song
|
| We’re making love in the blistering sun
|
| On a freight-train I found my way
|
| To my true love, one lucky day
|
| Here on a beautiful site
|
| On a wonderful tropic night
|
| Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
|
| A wild rose in the sun
|
| That’s where my love’s begun
|
| Maribaya, here in the mountain-dew
|
| I found my true love
|
| Here I found my baby blue
|
| Maribaya, down by a blue bayou
|
| I found my true love
|
| Here I found my baby blue
|
| Blue bayou |
