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? |
