battle of bembezi - john edmond lyrics
we fought them at the bonko, ’twas just the other day
they laid an ambush in our path – we went another way
to capture bulawayo and stop a fearful war
the sal’sbry horse, victoria rangers and the old cape corps
on the first day of november of eighteen ninety-three
we fought the matabele at the battle of bembezi
we formed a laager on the hill at mid-day for to rest
we saw an insukamini regiment towards the west
we swung the seven-pounder ’round; let a big one fly
and from the east the amaveni gave their battle cry
on the first day of november of eighteen ninety-three
we fought the matabele at the battle of bembezi
the wild ingubu with the fierce imbezu on the right
came charging from the northern bush, they were a fearful sight
and near 6000 warriors – we stopped them on the run
the bravest of the brave could never match the maxim gun
on the first day of november of eighteen ninety-three
we fought the matabele at the battle of bembezi
