Chiwoniso Maraire


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 leaned against a tree
Her rifle by her side
Rough, worn hands
Upon her knee

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 on out and lit lt‎
And threw the rest into the grass

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

Rebel woman
Rebel woman, yeah
