‘They Kept on Marching!’ – The Salvation Army in Victorian Torquay
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
