Actually, I just looked it up and it's Kumbaya. Claimed to have been
written by Reverend Marvin Frey from ...... yep ...... New York
City!!!!!  Originally titled "Come By Here". Or if you believe the
other story that it originated in South Carolina as "Come by Yuh" sung
in Creole dialect. Joan Baez recorded it and Peter Paul and Mary.

I just never saw it spelled before and always thought they were singing
Goombya, and was never interested enough to find out WHAT the hell they
were singing.
