R is for the regiments who fight the winning fight
H is for the home fires that the folks are keeping bright
O is for the other ranks and officers as well
And D is for the die-hards who will even fight in hell

E is for the enemy
That just won't ever win
S is for the spirit of our men that won't grow dim
I is for the independence that we have to share
And A is for the arms that we will always have to bear

And the first word in Rhodesian is Rhodes
That's a name that everybody knows
It may be as Rhodesian as the flag of white and green
But the last word in Rhodesian is IAN
