One old Wiltshire tune was adopted as a marching song by the 4th Battalion, T.A., of the Wiltshire (Duke of Edinburgh's Royal) Regiment and has almost become Wiltshire’s unofficial anthem. Salisbury MP, Robert Key, continues the tradition of singing ‘The Vly be on the Turmut’ at every general election. It has become a tradition for the song to be sung by the successful candidate from the balcony of the city's White Hart Hotel! REGIMENTAL MARCH 'THE WILTSHIRE' 'Twere on a jolly zummer's day, the twenty-fust o' May,
John Scroggins took his turmut-hoe, wi' thic he trudged away:
"Now zome volks they likes haymakin', and zome they vancies mowin'-
But of all the jobs as I likes best, gi'e I the turmut-hoein'." Chorus The vly, the vly,
The vly be on the turmut -
'Tis all me eye
Fer I to try
To keep vly off the turmut.
"The fust place as I went to work, it were wi' Varmer Gower:
Who vowed and swore as how I were a fust-rate turmut-hoer;
The second place I went to work, they paid I by the job - But if I'd knowed a little 'afore, I'd sooner a' bin in quod." Chorus The vly, the vly,
The vly be on the turmut -
'Tis all me eye
Fer I to try
To keep vly off the turmut. "The last place as I went to work, they sent fer I a-mowin',
I sent word back, I'd sooner take the zack, than gi'e up turmut-hoein'!
Now all you jolly varmer chaps wot bides at home so warm -
I'll now conclude my ditty wi' a-wishin' you no harm." Chorus The vly, the vly,
The vly be on the turmut -
'Tis all me eye
Fer I to try
To keep vly off the turmut. |
