Subject: RE: The Captain and the Kings
There's one phrase in this verse which differs slightly from the one I've heard.
Far away in dear old Cyprus, or in Kenya's dusty land, *We bear the white man's burden in many a strange land. As we look across our shoulder, in West Belfast the school bell rings, And we sigh for dear old England, and the Captains and the Kings. And we sigh for dear old England, and the Captains and the Kings.
The different bit is:
Where all bear the white man's burden in many a strange land.
