Her Name Was Racheltjie De Beer Lyrics by John Edmond

2018

In the land named after the wide Orange River in the Summer the hot winds will blow
\nBut sweat in that land will turn into a shiver when it's dressed in a mantle of snow
\nAnd a story of old that's often been told has always brought many a tear;
\nIt's the tale of a lass with love unsurpassed, and her name is Racheltjie De Beer
\n
\nShe said I will shield you from the cold wind whenever it begins to blow
\nI will shelter you with my body from the icy driving snow
\nI will wrap you in my garments and my love to keep you warm
\nTogether, my little brothеr, we will weather any storm
\n
\nThе young sibling brother was like any other young farmboy that lived in his day
\nHad a place in his heart for a special young calf that one snowy night wandered astray
\nHe went off to search as the weather got worse, though lost and enveloped in fear
\nHis loving sister was there by his side, and her name was Racheltjie De Beer
\n
\nShe said I will shield you from the cold wind whenever it begins to blow
\nI will shelter you with my body from the icy driving snow
\nI will wrap you in my garments and my love to keep you warm
\nTogether, my little brother, we will weather any storm
\n
\nAs darkness was falling no one heard their calling, they were lost and adrift in the wild
\nBut then they found a hole in a mound just big enough to shelter a child
\nShe wrapped him up in her clothing, her little brother so dear
\nBut the snow and the ice took that young maiden's life, and her name was Racheltjie De Beer
\n
\nShe said I will shield you from the cold wind whenever it begins to blow
\nI will shelter you with my body from the icy driving snow
\nI will wrap you in my garments and my love to keep you warm
\nTogether, my little brother, we will weather any storm
\n
\nShe said I will shield you from the cold wind whenever it begins to blow
\nI will shelter you with my body from the icy driving snow
\nI will wrap you in my garments and my love to keep you warm
\nTogether, my little brother, we will weather any storm\n\n
