It was way back in the year of 1889 |
| [00:20.029] |
There was diggin' in the Kimberley mine |
| [00:24.974] |
Everybody hopin' they were gonna find |
| [00:29.239] |
A special kind of stone with a special kind of shine |
| [00:34.877] |
But there was a man with another scheme |
| [00:38.668] |
He said let's go north and find a bigger dream |
| [00:43.515] |
Give me the column of brave pioneers |
| [00:48.442] |
With no illusions and not too many fears |
| [01:03.351] |
But to blaze the trail I need some strong young lions |
| [01:07.687] |
Who's dream is bigger than gold or diamonds |
| [01:12.699] |
To be protectors, come whatever may |
| [01:17.403] |
Against any danger we may find along the way |
| [01:22.336] |
You'll be the British South Africa Company's police |
| [01:26.706] |
For your Company and country, justice and peace |
| [01:31.839] |
A couple 'a hundred troopers to ride out any storm |
| [01:37.073] |
And that's how the Rhodesian Trooper was born |
| [02:03.243] |
They served their new found country with passion and pride |
| [02:07.667] |
All colours, creeds and genders workin' side by side |
| [02:12.306] |
Served their people and the motherland in war and peace |
| [02:17.861] |
They will be remembered down the centuries |
| [02:21.795] |
When the last trooper slips into the grave |
| [02:26.529] |
A name and number's gonna be on history's page |
| [02:31.528] |
But they say old troopers fade away, that never die |
| [02:36.154] |
They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky |
| [02:41.820] |
They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky |
| [02:45.976] |
They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky |
