Lyrics

There's a train that comes from Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe Malawi, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland and the whole hinterland of South Africa. This train carries on it the young men and old men who are conscripted to come and work on contract in the gold mines of Johannesburg and it's surrounding metropoli. Deep, deep, deep down in the belly of the earth are they digging and drilling for that mighty evasive stone For when they dish that mish mash mush food into their into iron plate with an iron shovel And when they hear that choo-choo train screaming
