Dear Roots Community,
I heard a tune on Joey J kiss fm as a youth growing up. Every Columbus Day in the US I am reminded of how I have never been able to track it down. It's definitely pre 70's roots, maybe from the same time period of Desmond decker etc. the lyrics go;
Columbus, Columbus, Columbus
The Arawaks is coming back
Columbus, Columbus, Columbus
The Arawaks is coming back
This time not with a Stoney heart
This time not with a bow and arrow
This time they will not run and hide
I really hope someone knows....
