Christopher Columbus
And he grew up in Italy.
Later he learned to be a navigator
And how to sail a ship at sea
In fourteen hundred ninety two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
For Spain to gain
An Indies shortcut that was new
How could he find a
Shortcut to the Indies,
Bring silk and spices quickly home?
He needed someone with a lot of money.
He couldn’t do it all alone.
In fourteen hundred ninety two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
For Spain to gain
An Indies shortcut that was new
King Ferdinand and good Queen Isabella
Gave him three ships
Santa Maria, Nina, and Pinta
Brave little ships that sailed from Spain
In fourteen hundred ninety two
