Goodbye Britania

A Rhodeisan song by John Edmound about the split between the UK and Ian smiths Rhodesia as many people in both countries did not wish it to end the way it has! Farewell Britannia Oh, I can see a jacket of red and white and blue, Some lions and a unicorn, a harp, a bulldog too I see some shiny jewels that sparkle in a crown Some hearts of oak, some daffodils and hills of thistledown Is this good-bye now, my Greaten Britannia Farewell Britannia, adieu! Must I leave you now, my Greaten Britannia Will this be my last good-bye to you! Must I say good-bye to David and George and Patrick too To Andrew and the cousins and to all the folks I knew It was a family quarrel and I’m too beat to scold You close the door and left me here standing in the cold Is this good-bye now, my Greaten Britannia Farewell Britannia, adieu! Must I leave you now, my Greaten Britannia Will this be my last good-bye to you!
