On Sussex Hills

J. Raynor

On Sussex Hills where I was bred,

When lanes in autumn rains are red,

When Arun tumbles in his bed

And busy great gusts go by;

When branch is bare in Burton Glen

And Bury Hill is a whitening, then

I drink strong ale with gentlemen;

Which nobody can deny, deny,

Deny, deny, deny, deny,

Which nobody can deny.
