A friend told me about this song by "Naming James", wow it really stirs up some memories - These are the words to the song
All lyrics copyright Naming James
Bury My Bones in Jo'Burg
From Houghton to Hilbrow, The Doors and The Doll House, Cloud9, The Sunnyside,
singing carols by candlelight, Bimbo's and Tempos, 206 and Tokyo
At the Waterfront and the Carlton to the Rosebank Rooftop Market, Rockey Street to Roxy's
Ellis Park to ESP, Heinrich's and the Skyrink and the cars at the Top Star drive-in
I hear Bassline and the Radium, bikers at the Bohemian, around Kyalami race-track
Cats Pajamas and Carfax, Melville and Yeoville, Kippies, Wits and Northcliff Hill
Zoo Lake, Truth and Bruma, the lights of Louis Botha, Fontana's and Jamesons
Morgan's Cat and the White Horse Inn, the Cool Runnings Dungeo, Castle Corner at the Wanderers
CH
The Sun will always Shine on this city of gold
So bury my bones in Jo'burg, let it forever be my home
Traffic, taxi's, Ponty, past Oxford street's prossies, City Deep, Main Reef and Westpark Cemetery
Sterkfontein and the JCE, the big top tent at the Boswell Wilkie
Gold Reef City and The Carousel, drinks at the Jolly til they ring the bell, Bulldogs and Bowl's Club
Billy the Bums and the Thunder Gun, cruising through Gilooly's to the crying sirens of the SAP
Emmerentia Dam and Wemmer Pan, chick pies from Riversands, the bridge we built for Madiba
Delta Park and the Market Theatre, the holding cells in Sun City, Lion Lager at the SAB
Leeuwkop and Liliesleaf, deep underneath the SABC, the M1 and the Jukskei
Bryanston to Braamfontein, the heartbeat that holds me, these old streets of Jozi
CH
The Sun will always Shine on this city of gold
So bury my bones in Jo'burg, let it forever be my home
