Infantry Love This Song! I Wish I Were a Blue Job ~ John Edmund, Rhodesian Troopie Musician

Rhodesia was a wonderful, prosperous country that was known as the "Breadbasket of Africa." You could say it was a real-life Wakanda: and advanced African country that had intelligent, hardworking people that contributed greatly to humanity.

Unfortunately, Communists backed by China, North Korea, Cuba, and the Soviet Union hated the fact that White people had transformed rather empty grassland into a wonderful, rich country. So, they started a bush war that inolved significant amounts of terrorist attacks.

John Edmund fought in that war as an infantrymen, and later as musician who would travel to different bases providing entertainment for the troops. Due to his talents, we have a variety of songs celebrating the Rhodesian military, and providing humor that reaches across national boundaries and embraces everyone who has been an infantryman.

Quoting John: 'When I did my service, the nickname for an airman was a “Blue Job,” and a “brown job” was a soldier. I wrote this song when I was a “Brown Job” and longed to one day be able to fly –my dream came true!'

Some other interesting comments:

"I only have one criticism of Rhodesia: it didn't last long enough"

"It's criminal what happened to Rhodesia, and now South Africa."

"Our school was up the road from Thornhill in Gwelo. The planes would take off and fly right over us. Hunters, Vamps and Canberras would pass over us at a few thousand feet. Flown by brave men and true. I really really miss those days, when Rhodesia bravely stood alone against the world. A country worth fighting for."

" love listening to your music and learning Rhodesian history in general, keep on going, Rhodesians never die"

Lyrics:
Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly
But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die
With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
The Sergeant that signed me up
Had a face like the back of a truck
A tattoo on each knee
And legs like a Mukwa tree
And the Medic that did my test
He left me standing in my vest
And then when I didn't see
He stamped me with a T.A.P.
Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly
But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die
With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
Down at the quartermaster store
I said I take size 4
They gave me size 3 for sports
It was a pair of open neck shorts
I was in the cookhouse queue
Waiting for my beans and stew
The cook just winks at me
And slips the bluestone in my tea
Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly
But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die
With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
Standing on parade
Never get a bit of shade
Out in the blazing sun
With the temperature a hundred and one
And you know there's nothing worse
Than doing the assault course
When the sweat is running free
And it smells like a chipotle
Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly
But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die
With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
We had a contact the other day
But the terrs all ran away
We were firing the M.A.G.
From the hip like Audie Murphy
So if I go up in a puff of smoke
It's better than being a slope
Or a fuzz from the B.S.A.P.
I'd very much rather be me
Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly
But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die
With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
