Hi all,

And as I understood  "Die kat kom weer", song, is that it refers to
Freestate and Transvaal Boers who, after their farms were burnt and their
women and children were sent to concentrations camps, they were
expatriated to British POW island camps in the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser

From: "A Victorie" <victorie.a at home.nl>
Hier heb ik een gedielte van de tekst.

De boer, die zwoer hem blauw:
Hij zou die kat dood schiet,
Hij had zijn hoos gelaán.
Met kruit en dynamiet,
Hij leit kat hem voor den weg die hij moest kom
En den volgende morgen:
Velletjes en beentjes...:

Refrein:
Maar die kat kom weer,
die kon nie langer wach,
Die kat kwam weer de volgenden dag
De kat kwam eer
Geloof me het is waar
Den volgende dag was die kat daar weer daar!

Hij zet hem op een skip
Dat zeilde naar Ceylon
Die skip die was gelaán
Met twaalf duzend ton,
Maar verre van dit land
Daar is die skip gestrand
En alle matrozen
Verdronken..........
Maar de kat enz...
