Glorious Devon - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]

Coombe and Tor green meadow and lane[00:00:06]

Birds on the waving bough[00:00:09]

Beetling cliffs by the surging main[00:00:12]

Rich red loam for the plough[00:00:14]

Devon's the fount of the bravest blood[00:00:17]

That braces England's breed[00:00:20]

Her maidens fair as the apple bud[00:00:23]

And her men are men indeed[00:00:29]

When Adam and Eve were dispossess'd[00:00:34]

Of the Garden hard by Heaven[00:00:39]

They planted another one down in the West[00:00:42]

Was Devon was Devon glorious Devon[00:00:46]

Spirits to old world heroes wake[00:00:59]

By river and cove and hoe[00:01:01]

Grenville Hawkins Raleigh and Drake[00:01:05]

And a thousand more we know[00:01:07]

To every hand the wide world o'er[00:01:11]

Some slips of the old stock roam[00:01:14]

Loyal friends in peace dread foes in war[00:01:16]

With hearts still true to home[00:01:23]

Old England's counties by the sea[00:01:29]

From east to west are seven[00:01:34]

But the gem of that fair galaxy[00:01:37]

Is Devon is Devon glorious Devon[00:01:39]

Dorset Somerset Cornwall Wales[00:01:54]

May envy the likes of we[00:01:56]

For the flower of the West the first the best[00:01:59]

The pick of the bunch us be[00:02:02]

Squab pie junket and cider brew[00:02:05]

Richest cream of the cow[00:02:09]

What did Old England without them do[00:02:12]

And where udun be to now[00:02:15]

As crumpy as a lump of lead[00:02:20]

Be a loaf without good leaven[00:02:25]

And the yeast Mother England do use for her bread[00:02:28]

Be Devon be Devon glorious Devon[00:02:32]
