It is a song we sang at Boy Scouts around a campfire for those who remember half a century back. Sometimes in Catholic folk mass as well. "Kum ba yah" ("Come by Here") is an African American spiritual of disputed origin, but known to be sung in the Gullah culture of the islands off South Carolina and Georgia, with ties to enslaved West Africans. The song is thought to have spread from the islands to other Southern states and the North, as well as other places in the world. The first known recording, of someone known only as H.

The song was originally an appeal to God to come and help those in need
