There is a lonely wagon-trail, but now it's overgrown
Where the teams of toiling oxen used to heave and strain and moan
But there are echos of the wagons in the Bushveld to this day
And the cracking whips, as they made their trips to Delagoa Bay
There was a transport rider who used to ride this train
He had a pup with one ear up and a little stumpy tail
A throwback from ole' Jes' litter, that they used to call the rat
With the heart of a lion and an eagle eye
And quick as a jungle cat
With one ear down and one ear up
And a little stumpy tail
The ugliest of any pup on any wagon-trail
I sing of.. Jack of the Bushveld
He's a legend still today
All the way from Lionberg to Delagoa Bay
Throughout the Bushveld Jock was known
His masters pride and joy
He gained respect both far and wide, from every Zulu boy
The finest hunter in the land, could never match his skill
For he could track down any beast
Just at his master's will
With one ear down and one ear up
And a little stumpy tail
The ugliest of any pup on any wagon-trail
I sing of.. Jack of the Bushveld
He's a legend still today
All the way from Leydenberg to Delagoa Bay
He died while watching over, the stock he tried to save
An accidental bullet, sadly laid him in his grave
Beneath the big tree in the Bushveld
He lies, at rest alone
And sometimes you can hear him whimper
When the night winds blown
With his one ear down and his one ear up
And a little stumpy tail
The ugliest of any pup on any wagon-trail
I sing of.. Jack of the Bushveld
He's a legend still today
All the way from Lionberg to Delagoa Bay
I sing of.. Jack of the Bushveld
He's a legend still today
All the way from Lionberg to Delagoa Bay
