Banjo Paterson - Cape Mounted Rifles
Work rating: Low

Now, when you’ve talking of trifles
I’ll sing you a song of the war – 
A song of the Cape Mounted rifles,
The dandy south African Rifles Corps.

Chorus
Pom, pom, pom. pom. tooralido
Pom, pom, pom, pom, tooralay
Yes, take us all round, there ain’t many
Will tread on the tail of our coat.

They told us to stop on the border:
We thought we were out of the hunt,
But quietly, they sent us an order – 
“The rifles are wanted in front.”
And up in the front did they set us
To fight all the Dutchmen afloat,
But ne’er a Commando that met us
Could tread on the tail of our ------

They sent us with Colonel Dalgety
To fight with De Wet and old Steyn,
We’ve fought and we’ve beat them already –
We’ll fight and we’ll beat them again.
Oom Paul has been picking up trifles –
With millions of cash he’s afloat – 
If he meets with the Cape Mounted rifles
They’ll jump for the tail of his coat.
