Nick Taylor Shangani Patrol lyrics
Shangani Patrol
Nick Taylor
GENRE
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
His troopers they were loyal, his troopers they were young
They'd follow Allan Wilson to the setting of the sun
They were hands from many lands and many a distant shore
They would follow Wilson, a soldier to the core
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
The Matabele army was running to the north
And Major Forbes would follow with for all that he was worth
But rеaching the Shangani, Shangani River wide
Sеnt Wilson and his men to scout, over the other side
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
Through green Makone forest the Matabele fled
The Yankee tracker Burnham said "They can't be far ahead."
But Wilson and his troopers were surrounded in the night
Said Wilson to the volunteers "We will stand and fight."
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
With horses in a circle they sang God Save the Queen
But 34 young troopers would never more be seen
They killed 10 times their number, they're on the honor roll
So take your hat off slowly, to the Shangani Patrol
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
His troopers they were loyal, his troopers they were young
They'd follow Allan Wilson to the setting of the sun
They were hands from many lands and many a distant shore
They would follow Wilson, a soldier to the core
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
The Matabele army was running to the north
And Major Forbes would follow with for all that he was worth
But rеaching the Shangani, Shangani River wide
Sеnt Wilson and his men to scout, over the other side
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
Through green Makone forest the Matabele fled
The Yankee tracker Burnham said "They can't be far ahead."
But Wilson and his troopers were surrounded in the night
Said Wilson to the volunteers "We will stand and fight."
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
With horses in a circle they sang God Save the Queen
But 34 young troopers would never more be seen
They killed 10 times their number, they're on the honor roll
So take your hat off slowly, to the Shangani Patrol
Up the wild Shangani, and down the other side
Up the wild Shangani, where Allan Wilson died
