The British Settler
Tune – ‘Oh what a row’; or, ‘The humours of a Steam-boat’
Oh! what a gay, what a rambling life a Se ler’s leading!
Spooring ca le, doing ba le, quite jocose;
Winning, losing; Whigs abusing; shopping now, then mu on breeding;
Never fearing, persevering, on he goes!
When to the Cape I first came out, in days of Charlie Somerset,
My lands were neatly measured o , ff
and reg’larly my number set;
I stru ed round on my own ground, lord of a hundred acres, sir,
, I made a trip to Kafirland, in hopes to find my cow again,
And tried to act the denst then, which no one can do now again; I
drew the Kafir’s ivory teeth, at risk of hempen collar, sir.
Which at Graham’s Town on the market brought me full 300 dollars, sir!
Oh! what a gay, &c.
My second go was but so so, although the trade was brisk

I hid my load out of the road, and, faith, I just had risk enough,
For this trade was hanging ma er in those good old days!
My stock-in-trade on pack-ox laid, I tried my luck at smouching then,
But found the Boers were wide awake as Yorkshiremen at chousing them;
They swept me some rock chrystals – gems, they swore, of purest water, sir;
And for breeding stock, a scurvy lot of hamels and kapaters, sir!
Oh! what a gay, &c.
Of fortune’s frowns, smiles, ups, and downs, I had a great
variety; I smouching drop. I open shop, the buy a farm;
Doing charming with my farming, best with friends’ society,
When all at once the Amakose break the charm!
Assegaing, yelling, crying – murder! fire! and revelry!
Stealing ca le, bloody ba le, every kind of devilry –
