The Painted Galician Girl

It was the painted Galician girl

Who left home in 1492
In the hope of reaching Japan
She gave birth to a mistake

Not witnessing the pain

She brought to the native's

Kidnapping ten to twenty-five

Only seven making the trip 

To her home in Galicia

Where her captives

Were put on display

For her highness

And God she believed

This is the first of many expeditions 

Which brought more regret
Than discovery

To the painted Galacian girl
