Following my post on Do you want the words to Sussex by the Sea on the big screens before kick off? https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?318531-Do-you-want-the-words-to-Sussex-by-the-Sea-on-the-big-screens-before-kick-off, which came back as an overwhelming "Yes". I have yet to hear back from the club, but it is fairly clear people are in favour of different version of the words to appear on the big screens, if the club are to take up the idea. Also, some think the chorus needs to appear in the music again. So I thought we'd have another poll, and again this will run for 7 days, and I will email the results to Paul Barber.
Sussex by the Sea: Which version of the words do you want to see on the big screens?
A: 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!
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!
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.
