Del Reeves - Voyage of Ole Chris lyrics

Back in 1490 I was at 92 Christopher Columbus told the people what he'd do Said I'll prove to you my theory though you scarped me and frowned That's who can blame you standing or isn't that the ground Well dog my kitty cat she was a stubborn fellow He pushed till he got to see Queen Isabella I need new mason boats you better let me have three The Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Marie Row your boat row your boat Hey there sailor row oh no you don't You better get in cause your making me soar If you don't row the boat then will never get to shore Well a storm started brewing in the middle of the drift But like big fat Johnny didn't take a lot a lip He kept all the sailors from permittin' mutiny By telling them their names would go down in history Well a skinny little fellow whos eye for the best Shimmied up the pole and chased the crow from his nest He started shoutin' when a duck flew in his hand Were runnin' out of water this must be the land When ole Chris found America he was a happy man He thought he was the first to walk upon the land But a spoil hick sailor who was high on Spanish beer He painted signs everywhere Kilroy Was Here Row your boat row your boat... Row your boat row your boat... Row your boat row your boat...
