Glorious Devon - Al Bowlly/Geraldo[00:00:00]

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

Birds on the waving bough[00:00:08]

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[00:00:18]

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

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

And her men are men indeed[00:00:28]

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

Of the Garden hard by Heaven[00:00:37]

They planted another one down in the West[00:00:39]

Twas Devon twas Devon glorious Devon[00:00:45]

Spirits to old world heroes wake[00:00:58]

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

Grenville Hawkins Raleigh and Drake[00:01:03]

And a thousand more we know[00:01:05]

To every hand the wide world o'er[00:01:09]

Some slips of the old stock roam[00:01:12]

Loyal friends in peace dread foes in war[00:01:15]

With hearts still true to home[00:01:21]

Old England's counties by the sea[00:01:27]

From east to west are seven[00:01:30]

But the gem of that fair galaxy[00:01:33]

Is Devon is Devon glorious Devon[00:01:38]

Dorset Somerset Cornwall Wales[00:01:51]

May envy the likes of we[00:01:53]

For the flower of the West the first the best[00:01:56]

The pick of the bunch us be[00:01:59]

Squab pie junket and cider brew[00:02:04]

Richest cream of the cow[00:02:07]

What ud Old England without em do[00:02:10]

And where udun be to now[00:02:14]

As crumpy as a lump of lead[00:02:21]

Be a loaf without good leaven[00:02:24]

And the yeast Mother England do use for her bread[00:02:27]

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