John Edmond - Rhodie Girl
While I went on many a-stint
And for driving each day down the old farm road
I fear there wasn't a hint
Thank you girl for staying
And being so true to me
And for giving me hope and courage
And light when I couldn't see
Thank you Rhodie girl
You're all that I want you to be
I tried to give you the world
But all you got was me
Thank you girl for teaching
Our kids to be fair and strong
For bitterness could creep into them
In the eyes of the Lord that's wrong
Thank you girl for being
With me to the bitter end
My lover, beautiful mother
And most of all my friend
Thank you Rhodie girl
You're all that I want you to be
I triеd to give you the world
But all you got was me
Thank you girl for following
My stormy rocky path
Through all thе tearing pains of war
And its terrible aftermath
Thank you girl for facing
This wide new promised land
And for giving me strength not to look back
Over the Limpopo sand
Thank you Rhodie girl
You're all that I want you to be
I tried to give you the world
But all you got was me
Thank you Rhodie girl
You're all that I want you to be
I tried to give you the world
But all you got was me
