Quite a surprise for me to hear that this song (very popular in ... Rumania, in the fifties!) originated from South Africa!

Eve Boswell is Hungarian but her English is very good. This sounds like a 1950's version of the 19th century Boer folk song. There are several traditional versions of this song here on YouTube. To find them you need to translate Sugar Bush into Afrikaans, which is Suiker Bossie.
