RHODESIANS NEVER DIE
We'll preserve this little nation
For our children's children too,
Once you're a Rhodesian
No other land will do.
We will stand in the sunshine
With the truth upon our side,
And if we have to go it alone
We will go alone with pride.
But we're all Rhodesians
And will fight through thick and thin,
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemies coming in.
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till the river's running dry,
And this land will prosper
For Rhodesians never Die.
