100 Years After the Beersheba Charge
Did you hear about the charge
On that faithful day
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon
It was the desert you see
And water was like gold
When the Australian Light Horse
Charged Beersheba that day
Chauvel lined them up
And with bayonets in hand
They charged the Turk trenches down
They won the wells for a long cool drink
Breaking the Ottoman Empire
To start the march to Israeli independence
And a place in the world history’s page.
