Chiwoniso - Rebel woman lyrics

Tired and dusty She sat by the road Her green spotted uniform And her sneakers Outworn Rebel woman, yeah She took off her hat And she leaned against a tree Her rifle by her side Rough, worn hands Upon her knee Rebel woman, yeah Rebel woman, yeah There will be no compensation It was of your free will Oh, that you stood on the frontline Rebel woman These are the rules of war Remember that you fought for your people I know the freedom's been hard won It's been so hard won But as you weep, rebel woman Remember you were strong Her corner pocket Hid a pack of cigars She took one out and lit it Threw the rest into the gra** Rebel woman, yeah Rebel woman, yeah Oh oh oh The bush grew around her Dense, hot and green Over the place where once Her home Her husband Her children Where once they'd been There will be no compensation It was of your free will Oh, that you stood on the frontline Rebel woman These are the rules of war Remember that you fought for your people I know the freedom's been hard won It's been so hard won But as you weep, rebel woman Remember you were strong Rebel woman Rebel woman, yeah
