A song about the Salvation Army in Torquay during the reign of Queen Victoria

lyrics

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
