They Kept on Marching
The Salvation Army was marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
They'd marched through the town
Unmolested for six years
Saving many souls
Like God's new pioneers
The Salvation Army was marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
The local board passed
A new harbourside Act
In the thirty eighth clause
Was a little known fact
No procession was allowed
On any Sunday
Except of the military
So the Act did say
To the Salvation Army
Many fines were handed out
Prison sentences served
Of that there is no doubt
The Salvation Army kept on marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
They'd marched through the town
Unmolested for six years
Saving many souls
Like God's new pioneers
The Salvation Army was marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
The local board passed
A new harbourside Act
In the thirty eighth clause
Was a little known fact
No procession was allowed
On any Sunday
Except of the military
So the Act did say
To the Salvation Army
Many fines were handed out
Prison sentences served
Of that there is no doubt
The Salvation Army kept on marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
