Rhodesia our homeland

[00:17.48] Once a column came a-marching

[00:21.73] In the long, long, long ago,

[00:25.98] And they came to found a country

[00:29.97] That the world would come to know;

[00:34.22] It was built on toil and courage

[00:38.20] Out of what was wilderness-

[00:42.45] So they gave us this our country

[00:46.44] To preserve and ever bless.

[00:52.82] The early fathers of our land

[00:56.78] Have left their trust in us,

[01:01.03] On guard for all they won we stand

[01:05.55] As those who follow must,

[01:09.27] Rhodesia, our homeland

[01:13.52] We stand on guard for thee,

[01:17.77] Rhodesia our homeland

[01:21.81] We'll ever cherish thee.
