Lyrics Columbus - Burning Spear

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
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 man who were around here, before him
The Indians couldn’t hang on no longer
Here comes black man and woman and children
Inna a Jamdown land ya
A whole heap of mix up, 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 longing to go home
Within a red, green, and gold robe
Come on Twelve Tribe of Israel
Come on Twelve Tribe of Israel
Out a Jamdown land ya
A whole heap of mix up mix up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on Twelve Tribe of Israel
Come on Twelve Tribe of Israel
Out a Jamdown land 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 is a liar
Yes, Jah.
