Salt Water (M. Bell/E. Beaumont) Columbus crew drank the brain-blowing brew, the salt water No fresh water, can’t call no doctor, brain cells to the slaughter Round and round we go, heavy wooden ship, tight ‘round the equator 1872, 1485 scholar write on paper Sawawa – saillhe – caw-oo-cah – salagua Discovery Bay already discovered, so the natives say No wind, no fresh water, only Cl Na Leave the city for the wide open sea, horizon I see Forward to Haiti, homeward to Spain, but no biscuits and tea – so whatcha see: Sawawa – saillhe – caw-oo-cah – salagua Write, write, write, write it down on paper Write, write, write, write it down on stone Rock, Rock, rock, rock salt and stone – the sailors moan No coco, no H2O, no fruit from Grenada No evolution, no culture three centuries later ‘Go down below, I’ll run the show,’ old pirate say Upon the sea and down through history: only salt water – the paper fade Sawawa – saillhe – caw-oo-cah – salagua
