Burning Spear - Christopher Columbus
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 is saying that
He's the first one
Who discovered Jamaica
I and I say that,
"What about the Arawak Indians..
and the few black man who were round here before him?"
The Indians couldn't hang on no longer
Here comes black man and woman and children
Inna Jamdown lan' ya
Whole heap o' mix-up, mix-up
A whole heap o' ben' up, ben' up
It haffe 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 longing to go home
Within I red, green and gold robe
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Outta Jamdown lan' ya
A whole heap o' mix-up, mix-up
A whole heap o' ben' up, ben' up
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Come on, 12 tribes of Israel
Outta Jamdown lan' ya
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's a liar
Yes Jah, he's a liar
Yes Jah, Columbus, he's (a) liar
Yes Jah, Christopher Columbus, he's a liar
