Sussex By The Sea 1927

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Jul 2002

Now is the time for marching,
now let your hearts be gay,
hark to the merry bugles
sounding along the way.
So let your voices ring, my boys,
and take the time from me,
and I'll sing you a song as we march along,
of SussexbytheSea..

For we're the men from Sussex,
Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
and useful men are we;
and when you go to Sussex,
whoever you may be,
you may tell them all that we stand or fall
for SussexbytheSea!
Oh Sussex, SussexbytheSea!
Good old SussexbytheSea!
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
for SussexbytheSea.

Up in the morning early,
start at the break of day;
march till the evening shadows
tell us it's time to stay.
We're always moving on, my boys,
so take the time from me,
and sing this song as we march along,
of Sussex by the Sea.

For we're the men from Sussex,
Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
and useful men are we;
and when you go to Sussex,
whoever you may be,
you may tell them all that we stand or fall
for SussexbytheSea!
Oh Sussex, SussexbytheSea!
Good old SussexbytheSea!
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
for SussexbytheSea.

Sometimes your feet are weary,
sometimes the way is long,
sometimes the day is dreary,
sometimes the world is wrong;
but if you let your voices ring,
your care will fly away,
so we'll sing a song as we march along,
of Sussex by the Sea.

For we're the men from Sussex,
Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
and useful men are we;
and when you go to Sussex,
whoever you may be,
you may tell them all that we stand or fall
for SussexbytheSea!
Oh Sussex, SussexbytheSea!
Good old SussexbytheSea!
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
for SussexbytheSea.

Light is the love of a soldier,
that's what the ladies say;
lightly he goes a wooing,
lightly he rides away.
In love and war we always are
as fair as fair can be,
and a soldier boy is the ladies' joy
in Sussex by the Sea.

For we're the men from Sussex,
Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
and useful men are we;
and when you go to Sussex,
whoever you may be,
you may tell them all that we stand or fall
for SussexbytheSea!
Oh Sussex, SussexbytheSea!
Good old SussexbytheSea!
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
for SussexbytheSea.

Far o'er the sea we wander,
wide thro' the world we roam;
far from the kind hearts yonder,
far from our dear old home;
but ne'er shall we forget, my boys,
and true we'll ever be,
to the girls so kind that we left behind
in Sussex by the Sea.

For we're the men from Sussex,
Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
and useful men are we;
and when you go to Sussex,
whoever you may be,
you may tell them all that we stand or fall
for SussexbytheSea!
Oh Sussex, SussexbytheSea!
Good old SussexbytheSea!
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
for SussexbytheSea.
