Thread Name: Scottish kids' song on the Boer War
Subject: RE: Scottish kids' song on the Boer War
The Boers have got my Daddy
My soldier Dad.
I don’t like to hear my Mammy sigh
I don’t like to see my Mammy cry
So I am going on a big ship To cross the raging main
I am going to fight the Boers l am
And bring my Daddy back again.
