Columbus Songtext
von Burning Spear

I and I old I know
I and I old I say
I and I reconsider
I and I see upfully that
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Yes, Jah

He′s saying that he is the first one
Who discover Jamaica
I and I say that
What about the Arawak Indians and the few Black men
Who were around here, before him
The Indians couldn't hang on any longer
Here comes first Black man and woman and children


In a Jam Down Land, yeah
A whole heap of mix-up and mix-up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
We have fi straighten out
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Yes, Jah

What a long way from home
I and I long to go home
Within a red, green, and gold robe
Come on, twelve tribes of Israel
Come on, twelve tribes of Israel
Out a jam downland, yeah

A whole heap of mix-up, mix-up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on, twelve tribes of Israel
Come on, twelve tribes of Israel
Out a jam downland, yeah

Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Yes, Jah, he is a liar
Yes, Jah, he is a liar
Yes, Jah, he is a liar
Yes, Jah, Columbus is a liar
Yes, Jah, Christopher Columbus, he′s a liar
Yes, Jah
