[Lyrics]
Here's the story of Rhodesia
A land both fair and great
On the Eleventh of November
An Independent State
This was much against the wishes
Of certain governments,
Whose leaders tried to break us down
And make us all repent.
Chorus:
But we're all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land stop the enemy coming in,
We'll keep them north of the Zambesi, till that river's running dry,
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.
They can send their men to murder
They can shout their words of hate
But the cost of keeping this land free
Can never be too great
For our men and boys are fighting
For the things thay they hold dear
And this land and all its people
Will never disappear
Cause' we're all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land stop the enemy coming in,
We'll keep them north of the Zambesi, till that river's running dry,
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.
We'll preserve this little nation
For Our Children's children too.
Once you're a Rhodesian
No other land will do.
We will stand tall in the sunshine
With the truth upon our side
And if we have to go alone
We'll go alone with pride.
Cause' we're all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land stop the enemy coming in,
We'll keep them north of the Zambesi, till that river's running dry,
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.
Yes, we're all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land stop the enemy coming in,
We'll keep them north of the Zambesi, till that river's running dry,
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.
Because we're all Rhodesians and we'll fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land stop the enemy coming in,
We'll keep them north of the Zambesi, till that river's running dry,
And this mighty land will prosper for Rhodesians never die.
