First Line: Columbus was a brave man
Last Line: Or sail-boats three!
Subject(s): Columbus, Christopher (1451-1506); Explorers; October; Sea Voyages; Ships & Shipping; Exploring; Discovery; Discoverers


COLUMBUS was a brave man,
On the land and sea,
He loved his God, his men, his land,
His sail-boats three.

Columbus and his sailors
Went venturing on the sea,
O they went sailing far and wide
In sail-boats three.

The Pinta and the Niña
And the blessèd Santa Marie,
And these were brave and gallant boats
As ever took to sea.

If we should go a-sailing
Upon the great, broad sea,
We'd never see such sailors
Or sail-boats three!
