"Zulu Warrior" Song from Rope of Sand (1949)

Zulu Warrior

I come a-zimba, zimba, zimba, zile
I come a-zimba, zimba, zimba, zee
I come a-zimba, zimba, zimba, zile
I come a-zimba, zimba, zimba, zee

See him there, the Zulu warrior
See him there, the Zulu chief, chief, chief
See him there, the Zulu warrior
See him there, the Zulu chief, chief, chief

This was reportedly composed by Josef Marais, a South African folk singer who emigrated to the United States. Joseph Marais and Miranda Marais perform it in the 1949 movie Rope of Sand.
