Lyrics The Old Kalahari - Jim Reeves

Ver in die Ou Kalahari daar sing die Boere so
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo
In misty plains all around me the burning sun and sand
Lovely and peacful surroundings my old Kalahari land.

Sonbesies sing in jou bosse die hittige son te versmaai
Rooi Afrikaner-osse sien jy om elke draai
Ver in die Ou Kalahari tot daar in die Molopo
Gee ons die Ou Kalahari die Ou Kalahari bo.

--- Instrumental ---

When I am called on safari
By him whom I cannot deny
I pray that the old Kalahari
Will be part of that land in the sky...
