The Tingleys-United Song

Sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic

By: Ann Lee of Victoria, BC Revised by MGS & ABS

Once in England lived a family and Tingley was its name
But Palmer left his land of birth and to New England came,
And by this act of valor worth he brought the family fame,
And he went marching on.

Chorus
We are Tingleys United,
We are Tingleys United,
We are Tingleys United,
As we go marching on

From North to South and East to West this family has spread,
They tilled the land and grew the grain from which to bake the bread.
They fought with flood, withstood the drought and faced the Indians red.
But they kept marching on.

Chorus

Our fathers and our mothers all were members of that band
and we are here together now, from all across the land,
With thanks to give to that brave band who finally took their stand,
And just kept marching on.

Chorus

And o'er this land has sprung a band ten thousand great and strong
With farmers, teachers, doctors, preachers, lawyers to right wrong
And as we face tomorrow with its problems great and small,
We'll still keep marching on.

Chorus
