There was a guy from spain,
Christopher columbus was his name.
Down in the west indies,
Is where he gained his fame.
A lot of black people,
Went down the drain.

To create the world most vivious sin.
In taking a nation that was born to be free,
And brought down there to captivity..

Down in the west indies,
Is where he get his fame.
A lot of black people,

On their body, you put a price,
And sold them as merchandise.
How can a man discover a land
That already populated with indians?
