11There is no land like England There is no land like England
22 Where’er the light of day be; Where’er the light of day be;
33There are no hearts like English hearts, There are no hearts like English hearts,
44 Such hearts of oak as they be. Such hearts of oak as they be.
55There is no land like England There is no land like England
66 Where’er the light of day be; Where’er the light of day be;
77There are no men like Englishmen, There are no men like Englishmen,
88 So tall and bold as they be. So tall and bold as they be.
99<b>Chorus.</b>
1010 For the French the Pope may shrive ’em, And these will strike for England
1111 For the devil a whit we heed ’em, And man and maid be free
1212 As for the French, God speed ’em To foil and spoil the tyrant
1313 Unto their hearts’ desire, Beneath the greenwood tree.
1414 And the merry devil drive ’em
1515 Through the water and the fire. There is no land like England
1616 Our glory is our freedom, Where’er the light of day be;
17 We lord it o’er the sea;
18 We are the sons of freedom,
19 We are free.

21There is no land like England,
22 Where’er the light of day be;
2317There are no wives like English wives, There are no wives like English wives,
2418 So fair and chaste as they be. So fair and chaste as they be.
2519There is no land like England, There is no land like England
2620 Where’er the light of day be, Where’er the light of day be;
2721There are no maids like English maids, There are no maids like the English maids,
2822 So beautiful as they be. So beautiful as they be.
2923(<b>Chorus</b>)
24 And these shall wed with freemen,
25 And all their sons be free,
26 To sing the songs of England
27 Beneath the greenwood tree.
