Christopher Columbus Songtext
von Guy Mitchell

Let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rolling sea
Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
′Cause this world ain't big enough for me

Columbus say to the Spanish king
"I′ll let you in on a mighty fine thing
I aim to prove that the world is round
United States ain't never been found"
(United States ain't never been found)
"Now give me ships," old Columbus say
"I′ll sail to China in a shorter way"
King, he say, "This world is flat
Sail to far and where you at?"

Oh, let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rolling sea
Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
′Cause this world ain't big enough for me, oh no
The world ain′t big enough for me


Now Queen Isabella she gave heed
Said, "Go buy the ships you need
Take my jewels but travel slow
'Cause you might fall down to the world below"
(Might fall down to the world below)
The crew was yellin′, "Turn back home
We ain't ready for the kingdom come
Look out," hollered, "Land I see
Why there′s the Statue of Liberty"

Oh, let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rolling sea
Oh, let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
'Cause the world ain't big enough for me, oh no
The world ain′t big enough for me

Now all of the Indians come out then
To welcome Chris and the hungry men
Step right up and have a little bite
And the Rotary meets on Monday night
(Rotary meets on a Monday night)
Columbus sail right home again
Ship load of gold for the Queen of Spain
King, he say, "You′re kickin' at the ground
I always know that the world was round"


Oh, let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rolling sea
Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
′Cause this world ain't big enough for me, oh no
The world ain′t big enough for me
The world ain't big enough for me
