PINTA, NINA, AND SANTA MARIA

Tune:
Here we go round the mulberry bush


Sway to the music as song is sung.

 

 

I saw three ships come sailing by, 
Come sailing by, come sailing by.
The Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria 
To find Japan, China, or India.

Who's in the three ships sailing by, 
Sailing by, sailing by?
Some hundred sailors making a fuss 
And their fearless leader, Columbus.

I saw three ships sight the land, 
Sight the land, sight the land.
Birds and branches gave them a clue 
On October twelfth, fourteen ninety-two.
