The tune happens to be the marching song of the British Marine
Commando's adopted because of the success the original
commandos had in fighting an army of superior numbers.
It has a proud tradition.

Congratulations Mr Luyt. That ranks as the worst piece of trolling I have
ever seen. You are but a shadow of your former self.

What d'ya mean? It's not the real one??? Sheesh, had me fooled!

Yes, the tune was said to have been introduced to the Marines by an officer
who had a connection with South Africa. It became an officially approved
marching tune in the early fifties and commonly features on ceremonial
programmes of the Royal Marine Commandos these days. But it has a much
earlier association with slavery and the American Civil War through the
song, "Ellie Rhee" or "Carry Me Back To Tennessee". The voice in the
American version is that of a runaway slave longing to be able to return to
the cornfields of home and his beloved Ellie Rhee.

Greatly abbreviated, the American version of the song goes something like
this:-

Sweet Ellie Rhee, so dear to me,
Is lost forever more;
Our home was down in Tennessee.
Before this cruel war.....
...Then carry me back to Tennessee,
Back where I long to be,
Among the fronds of yellow corn,
To my darling Ellie Rhee.....
...The war is over now at last.
The coloured race is free,
The good times are coming so fast:
I'm waiting for to see.

The adoption of the song is not the only indication of the respect
the Royal Marine commandos had for the boers. I used to
train at the Royal Marine barracks near Dover and all the
streets are named after SA'n cities. I bet they don't change
the names of the streets to the new names of the cities.
