 The Arawak Indian was the originator
 Then the Spaniards, the English, and nuff more follow
 I seh Christopher Colombus was a great founder
 Born and grown down in Italy inna Geneva
 Jah man him was di son of a wool weaver
 But then him strive to become a sailor
 Him travel for Spain, him was a navigator

 And two hundred men dem armed like soldier
 Dem sort pon dem weapon dem want shoot a
 Yes Columbus was di captain, was di ruler
 Dem sail out a Spain across di blue water

 Continue their voyage, reach down inna Cuba
 Inna 1494 dem reach down in Jamaica
 A land inna a di place called Santa Gloria
 I seh down inna di St. Anne's Bay area
 But dey life ketch dem inna dry harbor
 Because dem rush out? and run out of water
 Dem dock up dey ship and fling out dem anchor
 And tek out dem arms and invade di area
 Hold on, stumble 'pon some Arawak warrior
 Dem never lick a shot before an arrow dem a fiyah
 Di chief a di master, him head full a feather
 Columbus take over like a brave soldier
 BIM! Block out di show an lick him one shooter
 A mi seh little after that a bere shot start fiyah
 And soon dem get a conquer inna Jamaica
 And give all di riches to di Spain leader
