lirik lagu john edmond - selous
once there was an english schoolboy who′d heard many a tale
and dreamed to be a great white hunter out on the ivory trail;
lived his dream and sailed away to africa’s far shore
from the cape to wild zambezi all the land he did explore
alone in heat and cold with raging fever he survived;
fearless in the face of danger of wild beasts and savage tribes
all his journeys weren’t in vain for many a trail he blazed
for colonies now come and gone where the union jack was raised
“oh good lord deliver us!” he would often have to pray
[nightjar call] …he would hear the night jar say. ay ay
saw the awesome beauty of each creature he chanced to spy
from the power of elephant and lion to the fragile b~tterfly
his trophies and his specimens were for all the world to see
on walls of institutions of natural history
in his honor there’s so much that bears the name of this great man
from creatures of the wild to regiments and even tracts of land
though he was a ruthless hunter, wished his fellow man no harm
but in wars and rebellion didn’t want to take up arms
“oh good lord deliver us! do soldiers have to die?”
[nightjar call] …called the night jar in reply. ai ai
ice blue eyes and his demeanor won him friendships far and wide
from presidents of mighty lands to chiefs of the humblest tribe
he was a wild explorer who loved peace and solitude
driven by his quest for freedom and his fortitude
t’was by the rifle bullet that his hunter trade he plied
and by the sniper’s bullet strange to say was how he died
in his beloved africa in a lonely grave he lies
hyenas laugh and jackals call but his spirit never dies
“oh good lord deliver us! into your heavenly home.”
[nightjar call] …now the night jar weeps alone, alone
who was this english schoolboy with so much to see and do?
who was this ruthless hunter the spirit of fear he never knew?
who was this wild explorer with the friendly eyes of blue?
he was frederick courtney selous
oh good lord deliver us!
oh good lord deliver us!
[nightjar call] …the night jar remembers you
oh good lord deliver us
oh good lord deliver us
[nightjar call] …the night jar remembers you!
selous. selous
