GUEST,Nigel May | ADD: The Baby's Name (Murphy/Hall) (76* d) | RE: Req/ADD: The Baby's Name (Boer War song) | 15 Jan 08 |
My grandmother used to sing this song to us and I have a very clear memory of the words she used. I believe that it should be Mafeking, not Mafekin and the second last word was Victoria, not Pretoria, which I think did not come into existence until after the Boer War. Bobs was indeed Lord Roberts, and Blobbs is just a silly family name. |
