- Description: "Whithersoever thou goes I shall go." To Salisbury to Nairobi I shall go with you." Taken from the words of Ruth in the Bible and put into the local setting. It was sung by the wives of the local police recruits who indeed may have to follow their husband, if not to Salisbury and Nairobi at least to anywhere in Nyasaland. A sentimental song.
