"En la Brisa"
Music by Dan-O at http://DanoSongs.com
After
Roanoke, they said you were crazy,
I said I'm going off to the
Jamestown Colony,
Located down in
Chesapeake,
I said "Ooh-ooh-hoo,"
It's the Jamestown Colony,
The Virginia Company,
Sent the
Susan Constant,
Discovery,
And
Godspeed to start a colony,
Oh, this would be
Virginia,
If it didn't kill ya,
Nobody worked,
Everyone looking for gold,
'Til
John Smith stood up and said,
Oh don't you dare prospect then think you'll eat for free,
There are no free rides in the
Jamestown colony,
If you don't work, you'll go hungry,
I said "Ooh-ooh-hoo,"
It's the Jamestown Colony,
Disease and starvation were problems,
And
Powhatan Native Americans,
They were wary of these
Europeans,
They took
Smith and staged an execution,
Staged an execution,
But
John was "saved,"
By princess
Pocahontas,
Powhatan had made his
point,
John Smith and Powhatan, they both had to agree,
That they both wanted
peace in the Jamestown Colony,
Though their trust was never concrete,
I said "Ooh-ooh-hoo,"
It's the Jamestown Colony,
The "Starving
Times,"
16-0-9 until '10,
Half of the colonists died,
But if you did survive you might become wealthy,
Once tobacco grew,
In the Jamestown colony,
England's first settlement to succeed,
I said "Ooh-ooh-hoo,"
It's the Jamestown Colony!
