1-2-3, old Kruger’s up a tree

4-5-6, we’re beating him with sticks

7-8-9, we’ll hang him on a line-

We’re British!, we’re British, we’ll win!

     I have no idea where I got this song! Undoubtedly it was recovered from a book, but whicvh one I don’t remember! ‘Good-bye Dolly Gray’  by Rayne Kruger? ‘The Boer War’ by Thomas Pakenham’, are the most likely sources.
