chris 'n iz -- a columbus day national ragtime - rogerpaulpetersonmusic lyrics
verse 1
izzy was the queen of court in fourteen ninety*two
one fateful day she wondered, was this old world old or new?
columbus said he’d find a way to riches, spice, ‘n fame —
if iz’d give him three good ships ‘n men to sail from spain
chorus
and if they had not wondered, was their old world old or new?
columbus just might not have sailed into a new world view
the freedoms in our bles*sed land may never have been planned
we’d lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other’s hand!
verse 2
chris, he fin’ly got the nod and went where he was sent
he sailed his crews through oceans deep while hearts were discontent
and then a cry of “land ahoy!” came from the deck one night
a tiny light cut down their fright, a coastline there in sight!
chorus
and if they had not wondered, was their old world old or new?
columbus just might not have sailed into a new world view
the freedoms in our bles*sed land may never have been planned
we’d lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other’s hand!
verse 3
no, their motives weren’t all pure; here we voice dissent
too many lives were torn apart, a living h*ll event
for all the lies and sullied deeds, we cry “forgive us, please!”
let’s honor ev’ry skin and tongue! d*mned be our hate disease!
chorus
and if they had not wondered, was their old world old or new?
columbus just might not have sailed into a new world view
the freedoms in our bles*sed land may never have been planned
we’d lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other’s hand!

¡para vivir en paz y sin pelear!
god bless the u.s.a
on this columbus day!
