A great song; now very hated by the British left. Melody – and text Ross Parker & Hugh Charles
There’ll always be an England,
While there’s a country lane.
Wherever there’s a cottage small
Beside a field of grain
There’ll always be an England
While there’s a busy street.
Wherever there’s a turning wheel
A million marching feet.
Red, white and blue
What does it mean to you?
Surely you’re proud
Shout it loud
Britons awake!
The Empire too
We can depend on you.
Freedom remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break.
There’ll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

What a classic song! Really stirs patriotic feelings. 🇬🇧
Isn’t this song a bit dated for today’s world?
Thanks for sharing the lyrics! Brings back memories of my grandparents singing it.
Why does the British left hate this song so much? 🤔
Great article! But can we really depend on the empire in modern times?
So proud to be British when I hear this tune! 🇬🇧🎶
It’s just a song, people. Let’s not overthink it.
Love that this song has been sung by so many artists over the years.
Monte Rey was a Scotsman? That’s an interesting twist!
