He was just an ailing boy Seventeen or more Went away to cotton fields Upon a distant shore He was weak, but he was strong Within his will and mind He was loved by everyone Each colour, creed and kind Even the people that were picking the cotton said Mmm the spirit is strong Yes, the people that were picking the cotton said Mmm the spirit is strong Heard of diamonds in the west He could see them glow Bright and shining in his hand He knew he had to go Jack of spades to king of diamonds Born to lead the land Sweet charisma of the soul Is the magic of the man Even the people that were digging the diamonds said Mmm the spirit is strong Yes the people that were digging the diamonds said Mmm the spirit is strong Then his eyes were turning North England in his mind Shan't be long to Cairo now With one railroad line There were Impi's making war To stop him they would kill But he conquered them with words And the power of his will Even the people that were making the war said Mmm the spirit is strong Yes the people that were making the war said Mmm the spirit is strong When the end was near he said Take me to my North Laid him in a simple grave In stone of mother earth He did not want the Abbey splendour Epitaphs in gold Just a lone Matopo hill Where one could view the world Even the people that visit the hill say Mmm the spirit is strong Yes the people that visit the hill say Mmm the spirit is strong
