Lyrics The U.D.I. Song - John Edmond

Since the wagon wheels rolled north it has been many years
The country has been built and run by hardy pioneers
They fought the Matabele and many a hardship too
Their flag unfurled to tell the world to sing this song to you
And you can call us rebels and you can call us rogues we
were founded by an Englishman by the name of Cecil Rhodes
We fought for this dear land of ours and many men
die and we may have to fight again for this is UDI
In a time of need we stood behind the motherland our
soldiers fought in Flanders field and in the desert sand
In steaming jungles we have fought the common enemy but
these things have been forgotten since the days of victory
And you can call us rebels and you can call us rogues we
were founded by an Englishman by the name of Cecil Rhodes
We fought for this dear land of ours and many men
die and we may have to fight again for this is UDI
And now the sun is setting upon a great regime
The children all are leaving the best where they were weaned
And now the youngest child has left the parents and the
home and it can prove its worth if it's only left alone
And you can call us rebels and you can call us rogues we
were founded by an Englishman by the name of Cecil Rhodes
We fought for this dear land of ours and many men
die and we may have to fight again for this is UDI
And you can call us rebels and you can call us rogues we
were founded by an Englishman by the name of Cecil Rhodes
We fought for this dear land of ours and many men
die and we may have to fight again for this is UDI
And you can call us rebels and you can call us rogues we
were founded by an Englishman by the name of Cecil Rhodes
