Subject: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: GUEST,John Musgrave Date: 29 May 01 - 08:10 AM Can Anyone please suppy the words and music to the song "My Girl's A Yorkshire Girl", and the words to "She's A Lassie From lancashire". Many thanks |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: mousethief Date: 29 May 01 - 01:05 PM Okay, a brief search on Google turns up the fact that "My Girl's a Yorkshire Girl" was a short movie in 1909, being basically a music video (and we thought those were something new!). Both of these song titles are on the CD "Dancing in the Street" by Kevin Grunill (click here), although apparently he just plays the mighty Wurlitzer and there's no singing involved. It's also called a "regimental" piece, and apparently was played by the 1st Bn Duke of Wellington Regiment as part of their marching music (click.) It was sung by Charles W. Whittle, an early music hall star, in Yorkshire. It's mentioned in Joyce's Ulysses. But I'll be darned if I can find the lyrics. Sorry! Alex |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 29 May 01 - 01:14 PM Trying to remember the words of Lassie from Lancashire and the same last line comes into my head "Eeh bah gum" etc.), can't both be right! Northerners HELP, get me out of the hole I'm digging for myself here! RtS (Just because I'm confident doesn't mean I'm right!) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: Noreen Date: 29 May 01 - 01:25 PM I'm sure that Lassie from Lancashire has been posted here, but search is proving tiresome atm. I'll try again later if no-one else finds it. I don't know the other one at all. Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: Lynn W Date: 29 May 01 - 02:37 PM I used to have "My Girl's a Yorkshire Girl" on a cylinder recording but can only remember one verse (the final one I think)- Though she's a factory lass And wears no fancy clothes I've a sort of a Yorkshire relish For my little Yorkshire Rose. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Girls A Yorkshire Girl From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 29 May 01 - 02:45 PM She's a lassie from Lancashire She's a lassie from Lancashire, Just a lassie from Lancshire, She's a lassie that I love dear, Oh! so dear. Though she dresses in clogs and shawl, She's the prettiest of them all, None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah, My lass from Lancashire. Loraine Hart RtS (one verse was all I could find) |

Subject: Lyr Add: SHE'S A LASSIE FROM LANCASHIRE From: Long Firm Freddie Date: 29 May 01 - 04:51 PM SHE'S A LASSIE FROM LANCASHIRE By C.W. Murphy, Dan Lipton and John Neat, 1907 1. From a dear little Lancashire Town, A boy had sailed away, Across the briny spray, To toil in the U.S.A. When American girls gathered round And sought his company, He'd say, "There's only one girl for me." CHORUS: "She's a lassie from Lancashire, Just a lassie from Lancashire, She's the lassie that I love dear, Oh! so dear. Though she dresses in clogs and shawl, She's the prettiest of them all, None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah, My lass from Lancashire. CHORUS 2. Night and day of his lassie he'd dream, And under love's sweet spell, He'd hear the fact'ry bell, A sound he knew so well. Home from work they would walk once again And tho' in reverie, He'd say, "There's only one girl for me." 3. Day by day he kept plodding away, And to his task he stuck, Till by a stroke of luck, A paying vein he struck. As he wrote they would tell her that he Would shortly cross the sea, He'd say, "There's only one girl for me." CHORUS I'll post the song from t'other side o't' Pennines tomorrow! LFF |

By C.W. Murphy & Dan Lipton 1908
Verse 1
Two young fellows were talking about
Chorus
"My girl's a Yorkshire girl,
Verse 2
When the first finished singing in praise,
(Chorus)
Verse 3
To a cottage in Yorkshire they hied

So this was a natural sequel to Lassie from Lancashire, written the following year by a similar team, and spiced up a bit!

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My girls a Yorkshire girl From: Brakn Date: 06 Jul 02 - 03:56 AM Written by a guy called............Murphy. He also wrote "She's A Lassie From Lancashire". Does anyone know anything about him? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My girls a Yorkshire girl From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 06 Jul 02 - 11:38 AM I can't find any biographical details at the moment, but Clarence W. Murphy was also responsible, usually in collaboration with others, for quite a few popular songs at the turn of the 19th/20th century. He wrote She's a Lassie from Lancashire with Dan Lipton and John Neat; Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly? with Will Letters (quoted here is a re-write localised to the USA); and Oh, oh, Antonio (don't know the details). As indicated in Masato's link, James Joyce was quite fond of My Girl's a Yorkshire Girl, including it in The Dead; his copy of the sheet music is now held at the University of Miami. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My girls a Yorkshire girl From: Jim Dixon Date: 08 Jul 02 - 06:53 PM Clarence W. Murphy certainly was a prolific songwriter, and in a short period of time, too. I've compiled a list of every song written by him that I can find a mention of on the Internet. Many of these came from one site: http://www.truesoundtransfers.de/edi412.htm To keep the list simple, I have always listed his name as "Clarence W." although I sometimes found it as "C.W."; and I always listed his name first although it was sometimes given second. Probably the most frequently mentioned songs are "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" and "Let's All Go Down the Strand".
