Zeederberg - John Edmond My name is Peter Cobbly, from Somerset I come I rode up with the column in 1891 I've blazed along with Burnham, I've ridden with Selous I've shaken hands with Cecil Roads and Dr Jameson too Ladadadum Ladadum Oh for the Zeederberg To roll on in and bring me, a little breath of England (x 2) I left my heart in England, when I set out to Rome And fourteen golden guineas I've saved and sent back home I have some land I'm planting, in green Mashona land I wrote a proper letter home to ask for Rosies hand No nightingale can sing here, no cuckoo in the dell No glory of the spring here, no golden daffodil But we will have the nightjar and lilies of the flame And all the sounds of Africa to sing me Rosies name
