This is the first half of the opening song “duet”, this one introduces us to the English explorers, in particular a certain Captain John Smith. It basically tells us (the audience) what the English are after, why they're on the trip, and generally the sort of attitude they're taking on said trip. I remember the first time I listened to the soundtrack (way before I watched the movie), I played this song first and was set into a fit of giggles when I heard Mel Gibson singing. I mean, it's Mel Gibson. Mad Max! Sergeant Riggs!

In sixteen hundred seven
We sail the open sea
For glory, God and gold
And The Virginia Company

For the New World is like heaven
And we'll all be rich and free
Or so we have been told
By The Virginia Company
So we have been told
By The Virginia Company

For glory, God and gold
And The Virginia Company

On the beaches of Virginny
There's diamonds like debris
There's silver rivers flow
And gold you pick right off a tree

With a nugget for my Winnie
And another one for me
And all the rest'll go
To The Virginia Company
It's glory, God and gold 
And The Virginia Company

[ Men ]
We'll kill ourselves an injun

[ Smith ]
Or maybe two or three

[ Men ]
We're stalwart men and bold
Of The Virginia Company
It's glory, God and gold
And The Virginia Company
