Christopher Columbus

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
Ah, he is saying that, ah, 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 'round here before him?
The Indians couldn't hang on any longer
Here comes Black man, and woman, and children

An' inna Jam' down land, yeah
Whole heap-a mix-up, mix-up
A-whole heap a ben up, ben up
We haffi straighten out

Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Yes, Jah

What a long stay from home
I and I longing to go home
Within a red, green, and gold robe
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Outta Jam' down land, yeah

A whole heap-a mix-up, mix-up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Outta Jam' down land, yeah
Yes, Jah
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar

Yes, Jah, he's a liar
Yes, Jah, he is a liar
Yes, Jah, he is a liar
Yes, Jah, Columbus is a liar
Yes, Jah, Christopher Columbus, a-he's a liar
