Published 1907, Herman Darewski, & Chas Sheard in the USA 1st verse Now is the time for marching, Now let your hearts be gay, Hark to the merry bugles Sounding along our 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 Sussex by the Sea! Chorus 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 Sussex by the Sea! Refrain Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea! Good old Sussex by the Sea! You may tell them all we stand or fall, For Sussex by the Sea. 2nd verse 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. Chorus & Refrain 3rd verse Sometimes your feet are weary, Sometimes the way is long, Sometimes the day is dreary, Sometimes the world goes 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. Chorus & Refrain 4th verse 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. Chorus & Refrain 5th verse Far o'er the seas 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. Chorus & Refrain
