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

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

Beetling cliffs by the surging main [00:00:11]

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]

Twas Devon twas 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 [00:01:13]

Loyal friends in peace dread foes in war [00:01:17]

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 [00:01:41]

Dorset Somerset Cornwall Wales [00:01:54]

May envy the likes of we [00:01:57]

For the flower of the West the first the best [00:02:00]

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

Squab pie junket and cider brew [00:02:06]

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

What ud Old England without em 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 [00:02:26]

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

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