    One day in December when the sun shine down,
    I caught an aeroplane from Salisbury town.
    It flew in the sky really high above,
    And took me away from the land I loved.
    Rhodesia, Rhodesia, I left my heart in Rhodesia,
    Where the Zambezi flows and the good tobacco grows,
    I left my heart in Rhodesia.
    Lonely in a far land and I can see just
    What Rhodesia means to me
    When my day is done and it's time to rest,
    I miss the land that I love the best.
    Rhodesia, Rhodesia, I left my heart in Rhodesia,
    Where the Zambezi flows and the good tobacco grows,
    I left my heart in Rhodesia.
    (?) crowned Zimbabwe where the years stand still
    Kariba Dam will give you quite a thrill.
    Victoria Falls and Nyasaland too,
    A trip to Rhodesia is the thing to do.
    Rhodesia, Rhodesia, I left my heart in Rhodesia,
    Where the Zambezi flows and the good tobacco grows,
    I left my heart in Rhodesia.
    One day my sweetheart and I will go home,
    To Rhodesia and evermore (?).
    We want the whole world to understand,
    We'll end our days in that sunny land.
    Rhodesia, Rhodesia, I left my heart in Rhodesia,
    Where the Zambezi flows and the good tobacco grows,
    I left my heart in Rhodesia.

    Rhodesia was before my time, but I think I left my heart in Rhodesia.

    Calypso a- la Dixie Kwankwa. What a beautiful tune from an African girl sounding as exotic as a Caribbean cruise-ship calypsonian like The Andrews Sisters. This scotcher is a re-interpretation of Harry Belafonte's Lucy's Door.

    During the fifteen year war, the divorce rate in Rhodesia rocketed. The stress of living in the country with a war going on was very great. Infidelity was rife. One boy I knew, went home from school, and found his parents dead on the floor. The mother had shot the father, after she had found out he was being unfaithful. This was assumed when the father's mistress confessed to the police, that the father was going to tell the mother than he was leaving her. It was assumed that the mother preferred taking her own life, rather than facing the hangman's noose.
