Outpost in the Sky

It was way back in the year of 1889 There was diggin' in the Kimberley mine Everybody hopin' they were gonna find A special kind of stone with a special kind of shine But there was a man with another scheme He said let's go north and find a bigger dream Give me the column of brave pioneers With no illusions and not too many fears But to blaze the trail I need some strong young lions Who's dream is bigger than gold or diamonds To be protectors, come whatever may Against any danger we may find along the way You'll be the British South Africa Company's police For your Company and country, justice and peace A couple 'a hundred troopers to ride out any storm And that's how the Rhodesian Trooper was born They served their new found country with passion and pride All colours, creeds and genders workin' side by side Served their people and the motherland in war and peace They will be remembered down the centuries When the last trooper slips into the grave A name and number's gonna be on history's page But they say old troopers fade away, that never die They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky They'll be manning some lonely outpost in the sky
