Description:The song is dedicated to his favourite ox (Majok). The main topic of the ox is not only its elegance but its usefulness. There are many decorations put on Majok (white ox with black patches on the head and the bottom or tail). These adornments include the resounding gong tied round the ox’s neck, a bunch of tassels made out of buffalo’s tail tuft, and a beautifully braided leather lasso (rope). The animal is being adorned for not only the purpose of prestige, but also for attracting a beautiful girl around for whom the ox (Majok) will be given in exchange as part of bride price. In the song also, Bol Deng stresses the importance of girls as source of wealth to the family.
