How many Crosses -

Near the town of Fort Victoria

Beneath the shade and sun;

You will find a little cemetery

With crosses, twenty one

Hills of granite stand around

A sentinel, so bold and true

Over all the graves of those

Who braved the hazard with Selous

Tell me now ye granite mountains

So immovable, yet free

How many crosses in this valley?

How many crosses should there be?

Near the town of Fort Victoria

A highway and a fence

Wind their way through hill and mountain

Down the Pass of Providence

As you travel there remember

When you ramble down the graves

About the ones who first came up there

With the horses and the spades

Tell me now ye granite mountains

So immovable, yet free

How many crosses in this valley?

How many crosses should there be?

Near the town of Fort Victoria

You can still hear the bell

The bell that have the warning

Of the Matabele yell

Now it rings a message out

Of hope for those who care to see

The meaning of those crosses standing

In that lonely cemetery

Tell me now ye granite mountains

So immovable, yet free

How many crosses in this valley?

How many crosses should there be?
