When The King Goes Riding By 1937

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 May 2004

London Town's a fine town,
and London folks are gay,
see them jostling to and fro
upon their way,
Oh! London Town's a brave town,
how the bells do ring,
when the soldiers trim and tall
march behind their King.

There's a shout in the street,
there's a tramping of feet
when the King goes riding by,
Hark! the roll of the drums:
"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
You can hear the people cry.
Very straight, fine and strong,
He goes riding along,
How the banners wave on high,
Hark the cheering, how it starts,
there is love in all our hearts,
when the King goes riding by.

There's a shout in the street,
there's a tramping of feet
when the King goes riding by,
Hark! the roll of the drums:
"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
You can hear the people cry.
Very straight, fine and strong,
He goes riding along,
How the banners wave on high,
Hark the cheering, how it starts,
there is love in all our hearts,
when the King goes riding by.

London Town's a fine town,
and London folks are true,
laughing when the clouds are dark,
when skies are blue;
Oh! how they love the music,
how they gaily sing,
when the soldiers trim and tall
march behind their King.

There's a shout in the street,
there's a tramping of feet
when the King goes riding by,
Hark! the roll of the drums:
"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
You can hear the people cry.
Very straight, fine and strong,
He goes riding along,
How the banners wave on high,
Hark the cheering, how it starts,
there is love in all our hearts,
when the King goes riding by.

There's a shout in the street,
there's a tramping of feet
when the King goes riding by,
Hark! the roll of the drums:
"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
You can hear the people cry.
Very straight, fine and strong,
He goes riding along,
How the banners wave on high,
Hark the cheering, how it starts,
there is love in all our hearts,
when the King goes riding by.
