The White Cliffs of Dover.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Under burning desert skies,
Or the frozen North,

Where there's duty to be done,
Englishmen go forth.

But whatever sights they see,
What tropic beauties know,

One mem'ry they will hold,
All the wild world over.

The White Cliffs of Dover,
Rugged and strong they stand,

Set in the silver waters,
Walls of our own dear land.

Wild sea birds wheeling to and fro,
Answer the waves that break below,

While homeward bound,
The great ships go past the Cliffs of Dover.

So wand'ring sons of England,
No matter where you roam,

The tall white cliffs of Dover
Will welcome you back home!

'Gainst the foe for countless years,
Ramparts grim they rise,

Bidding conquerors beware,
Here's no easy prize!

Though invaders oft have tried,
To lower England's pride,

Still stands she bold and free,
All the world defying.

The White Cliffs of Dover,
Rugged and strong they stand,

Set in the silver waters,
Walls of our own dear land.

Wild sea birds wheeling to and fro,
Answer the waves that break below,

While homeward bound
The great ships go past the Cliffs of Dover.

So wand'ring sons of England,
No matter where you roam,

The tall white cliffs of Dover
Will welcome you back home!

Music by Max Saunders
Words by Max Kester
This is not the file some may have thought it would be
so there is no mention of blue birds
over the White Cliffs of Dover.
Vera Lynn had yet to arrive on the scene and this is another of those
pieces that make a Enlishman proud
to have something to go home to.
