Old Christopher Columbus Song...?

Question

I hope some of you can help me with this...
I barely remember a song about Christopher Columbus from over 20 years ago when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. All I remember is:

In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two
Who discovered a great new land?
He was sailing from Spain
Over the ocean he came
Christopher Columbus was his name.


Does anyone else remember this????? I'm trying to teach my child the song... Thanks everyone!!

Answer 1

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
It was a courageous thing to do
But someone was already here.

Columbus knew the world was round
So he looked for the East while westward bound,
But he didn't find what he thought he found,
And someone was already here.

Chorus
The Inuit and Cherokee,
The Aztec and Menominee,
The Onandaga and the Cree;
Columbus sailed across the sea,
But someone was already here.

It isn't like it was empty space,
Caribs met him face to face.
Could anyone discover the place
When someone was already here?

Chorus

So tell me, who discovered what?
He thought he was in a different spot.
Columbus was lost, the Caribs were not;
They were already here.

Chorus



omg how do i remember that
nah im just kidding i have it saved on my computer

Christopher Columbus Song

Answer 3

No, sorry. The only one I know is:
In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue

Answer 4

Columbus was a sailor brave,
Who first did cross the Atlantic wave.
In fourteen-hundred-ninetytwo,
He sailed far o’er the ocean blue,
Where ne’er a ship had sailed before
He found a mild but welcome shore,
Where naked men in forests prowled.
And bears and panthers roamed and howled.
Where Cortez came with sword and flame,
And wrought bold deeds of blood and shame
And at a blow Mexico was humbled in the dust,
Then others came to see the wonder
Gather gold and seek for plunder.
Yes, many a red man’s blood was spilt,
And many a deed was done of guilt, of torture,
murder, crime untold,
To get the poor, poor Indian’s gold.

Answer 5

The version I learned was:

In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
He sailed and he sailed and he sailed and he sailed
To find this land for me and you.

He sailed and he sailed and he sailed and he sailed
The Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria
He sailed and he sailed and he sailed and he sailed
To find this land for me and you.

I like your version better, though :)
