I an' I all I know 
I an' I all I say 
I an' I reconsider 
I an' I see upfully that: 

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar 
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah 

He say 'im that he's the first one 
Who discover Jamaica, I an' I say that: 
What about the Awarak indians ? 
And the few black man who were down here before him ? 
The indians could'n hang on a long long 
Here comes black man an'oman an' children 
A ina Jam Dung run ya 
Whole heap a mix up, mix up 
Whole heap a ben up, ben up 
Ha fi straighten out 

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar 
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah 

What a long stay from home 
I an' I longing to go home 
Within a red, green an' gold robe 
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel 
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel 
A outa Jam Dung land ya 
A whole heap a mix up, mix up 
A whole heap a ben up, ben up 
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel 
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel 
A outa Jam Dung land ya, yes Jah 

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar 
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah 
He's a liar, yes Jah 
He's a liar, yes Jah 
Columbus he's a liar, yes Jah
