《Glorious Devon》歌词

[00:00:00] Glorious Devon - Peter Dawson

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

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

[00:00:12] Beetling cliffs by the surging main

[00:00:14] Rich red loam for the plough

[00:00:17] Devon's the fount of the bravest blood

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

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

[00:00:29] And her men are men indeed

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

[00:00:39] Of the Garden hard by Heaven

[00:00:42] They planted another one down in the West

[00:00:46] Was Devon was Devon glorious Devon

[00:00:59] Spirits to old world heroes wake

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

[00:01:05] Grenville Hawkins Raleigh and Drake

[00:01:07] And a thousand more we know

[00:01:11] To every hand the wide world o'er

[00:01:14] Some slips of the old stock roam

[00:01:16] Loyal friends in peace dread foes in war

[00:01:23] With hearts still true to home

[00:01:29] Old England's counties by the sea

[00:01:34] From east to west are seven

[00:01:37] But the gem of that fair galaxy

[00:01:39] Is Devon is Devon glorious Devon

[00:01:54] Dorset Somerset Cornwall Wales

[00:01:56] May envy the likes of we

[00:01:59] For the flower of the West the first the best

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

[00:02:05] Squab pie junket and cider brew

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

[00:02:12] What did Old England without them do

[00:02:15] And where udun be to now

[00:02:20] As crumpy as a lump of lead

[00:02:25] Be a loaf without good leaven

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

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