Lyrics:
The Battle of the Modder River 1899
Fighting the Boer in an Afrikaan War
Blowing the bugle on command
The Boar had dug in on the banks and dug in deep
Hiding from the scouting British troops
Methuen and Coalville our commanders in the field
Had the infantry march forward on the veldt
Fighting the Boer in an Afrikaan War
November 1899
Koos de la Rey changed the way that they would fight
He kept his guns, his men and his rifles out of sight
We were on our way to Kimberley to relieve the town
But the Transvaalers had blown the bridge
Fighting the Boer in an Afrikaan war
Just an empty piece of land
From out of nowhere the Boar opened fire
Prinsloo’s men had jumped the mark
We were pinned down close to the Modder River
Nearly beaten by the sun and the ants
Fighting the Boer in an Afrikaan war
The Modder River up ahead
Some of the boys took a bullet or two
Reaching for a canteen or a smoke
The brave ones just laid there and some closed their eyes
Others lay there still
Fighting the Boer in an Afrikaan War
Asleep all night under fire
The Afrikaans were flanked by the ninth and went to run
Disappeared in the middle of the night
The bridge was rebuilt and we moved on up
Another day another fight
Fighting the Boer like the Afghans before
We never knew we’d ever win
