Lyrics
Van Tonder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Die spook het jou nou gevat
Maar hier waar jy staan
Is net die lede van jou bende
So loop jou gedagtes
En jy hoor in Kimberley hys hulle die vlag van Brittanje
Iewers sterf nog 'n kind in 'n konsentrasie kamp
Maar dis nou alles iets van die verlede
Prinses van wat
Bobbejaanwyfie dra sulke mooi klere
Chorus:
Toe ek weer so kyk
Miskien net vir 'n oomblik
Vang ek 'n spook
Ek dink ek is 'n siener
Sê vir Jannie Hattingh
Ek sal dit altyd onthou
Sê vir Van Tonder
Ek stel dit hoog op prys
Weet nie of ek jou ooit weer gaan sien
Hulle sê al die rebelle word dood geskiet
Almal wat hulle kry
Noord van die Oranje Rivier
Net vir die koning
Net vir sy plesier
Chorus
