The_Vly_be_on_the_Turmut
"The Vly be on the Turmut" (i.e. "The Fly is on the Turnip") is the unofficial song of the English county of Wiltshire, sung in the Wiltshire dialect.
The song is one of the regimental marching songs of the Wiltshire Regiment.[1] According to a long-established Salisbury tradition, the city's Member of Parliament sings the song from the balcony of the White Hart Hotel in St John's Street after winning each Parliamentary election.[2][3]
The musical score is given in Tom Gibson's The Wiltshire Regiment and in Granville Bantock's 100 Songs of England for High Voice.[3]
The song also appears with variations in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. The BBC's Music Library contains seven editions of the versions from the three counties.[3][4]
