Lyrics
Back in the old days
I remember well
Rock n roll sessions at Matopos Hotel
Had a ducktail haircut and blue suede shoes
When the army got me, it was G.I. Blues
Trocodero Cafรฉ, Bulawayo City Hall
And dancing at a place we called "The whore's ball"
Every time I gave my little baby a hug
She said: "it's not the whore's ball, it's the Sunshine club"
Mai weh! Baby, all I got left
Is a pair of old vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock n Roll Rhodie, with my vellies on
My buddy had the looks and the money too
But how to get the girls, he never really knew
He had a Morris Minor, with a super- sonic radio
It was the finest thing around since wide- tar road
But my Triumph- Tiger hundred super motorbike
Was the thing that all the hippy hippy girls liked
I'd put them on the pillion and ride into the night
Before they even knew me, they were holding me tight
Mai weh! Baby, all I got left
Is a pair of old vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock n Roll Rhodie, with my vellies on
When they play the music from the good old days
The scenes that you see never cease to amaze
Young girls dancing to the tunes we knew
Buddy Holly, Elvis and The Beatles too
It's really such a shame that they'll never ever know
What is was like living long long ago
Life was laid- back in the days of rock
So turn up the music and turn back the clock
Mai weh! Baby, all I got left
Is a pair of old vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock n Roll Rhodie, with my vellies on
Mai weh! Baby, all I got left
Is a pair of old vellies and my army vest
Even though the golden days are gone
I'm still a Rock n Roll Rhodie, with my vellies oN
