Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sussex song
Subject: Sussex song
Can anyone help with the lyrics to a song with the refrain: I drink strong ale with gentlemen Which no-one can deny, deny, Which no-one can deny.
One of the verses includes: In cold November off I go And turn my face against the snow And watch the wind where 'ere it blows Because my heart is high
It mentions plenty of places in Sussex - Steyning, Crowborough, Hurstpierpoint etc, but I can't track down the full words.
