Zeederberg - John Edmond
My name is Peter Cobbly, from Somerset I come
I rode up with the column in 1891
Iâve blazed along with Burnham, Iâve ridden with Selous
Iâve shaken hands with Cecil Roads and Dr Jameson too
Chorus
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 Iâve saved and sent back home
I have some land Iâm planting, in green Mashona land
I wrote a proper letter home to ask for Rosies hand
Chorus
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
Chorus
